The only registry entry that I noticed for NTP is to provide a list of
NTP servers. That is, you can increase the list of NTP servers from
which you can pick one for Windows time sync service. So you'll need to
start looking at 3rd party NTP utilities that can try several different
NTP servers. I use Socke****ch (not free) which has a long list of NTP
servers (although I had to edit its list to get rid of the dead ones and
add a few that I knew about since this list hasn't been updated in
years). It tests the NTP servers to find the top 5 best performers and
picks the fastest one from that list, but which one gets used can vary
over time and depends on response from the server, delays in the hosts
in the route, etc. There are several "atomic clock" time sync utilities
available that are free.

Thanks. What do you think of Tardis since it is free?
http://www.kaska.demon.co.uk/tardis.htm for it. I used to use it in
Windows 9x before XP, but it's old.

diversified instincts, mental powers, and affections of ants are
notorious, yet their cerebral ganglia are not so large as the quarter of
a small pin's head. Under this point of view, the brain of an ant is one
of the most marvelous atoms of matter in the world, perhaps more so than
the brain of a man." --Charles Darwin (from The Origin of Species, 1859)
