This is also tested by me in windows 2003 server and windows 7 and it's working tehere as well but I will not take any respnsibility for software damage that will occur.
Note that you should always be careful when messing in the registry and make a backup before doing any changes!

To change the interval that Windows updates the time using the internet time servers navigate to:
1. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services \W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpClient
2. Select SpecialPollInterval
3. Change decimal value from 604800 to some other value in seconds. EX: 172800 (2 days)

As you may or may not know, Windows XP provides an easy and fast way to synchronize your system time with an Internet time server (Control Panel/Date and Time/Internet Time). By default there are only two servers available (time.windows.com and time.nist.gov). To add more, just add them in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio n\DateTime\Servers).

<-- Here is a reg file to add some more servers:
------------------- cut here ------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers]
@="1"
"1"="billeberga.com"
"2"="time.windows.com"
"3"="time.nist.gov"
------------------- cut here ------------------
