Batch file or utility to change PC date to current from Nov 2008?

[Chris Wilson]

I have a well loved automotive database that will only run with the PC date set back to November 2006. I have written a simple batch file to put on my desktop to do this automatically. How can I do something similar to return it to its current date? I imagine it needs some sort of process running? I am a total novice, please keep any advice basic and simple, many thanks.

It's an obsolete parts database (Microcat Live) that wants updating. Once obsolete it fails to run and wants a newer one loading, The newer ones don't show parts for the vehicles I am interested in, so I have yo keep using the obsolete one. The batch file to turn the PC clock *back* is simply:

Date 01/11/2008


I need an easy way to set it back to the current date from the desktop, I thought of time servers using the W32TM or whatever it is command, but I don't think it updates a date, just the time?
