It seems to me that question comes up every once in a while , I believe the poster means "How to prevent the user from changing system date and time, by blocking access to the date/time windows interface".

Thanks for the clarification. Now we know the question, perhaps someone will come up with the answer.

Here is a quote from some security website "The easiest way to prevent users from changing the system time is by deleting the file TIMEDATE.CPL or renamng it, located in the Windows\System folder."

Change the system time or delete the applet?
Some data entry is very date/time sensitive and I assume is it to prevent tampering with the time.

Mike,
Change the system time or delete the applet?
I meant: why would anyone want to prevent the user from chaning the time?
Some data entry is very date/time sensitive and I assume is it to prevent tampering with the time.
Fair enough. My initial thought was that if I was a user, I would greatly resent an application that prevented from doing a basic operation like changing the time. But I guess you're right. There are circumstances in which it might be necessary.
