Change the OS Date/Time

[stevepuri]

Does anyone know how to change the OS Date/Time using VBScript or JavaScript ?

Thanks,
Steve

To actually change it? Can't be done.

To get it and manipulate it yes... use the Date object. I hope this helped! ;-)

Think about the security issues involved with that. It would be very bad to have those capabilities. I hope this helped! ;-)

Here's a way you can do it:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--

function change_system_date(new_date)
{
var this_date;
var dt=new Date();

while ((this_date=(dt.getMonth() + 1) + &quot;/&quot; + dt.getDate() + &quot;/&quot; + dt.getYear())!=new_date) {
alert(&quot;Please change your system date to &quot; +
new_date +
&quot; and then press Ok&quot;
dt=new Date();
}
}

//-->
</script>

Usage: change_system_date(&quot;5/5/2001&quot;
