Scheduling the Script

To schedule the script to run at every boot, follow these steps:

1. Clone or Download:

   • Clone or download the .cmd file to your Windows hard drive.

2. Customize the Batch File with a new time zone (default: Indian Standard Time):

   • To find the correct time zone information, open a Command Prompt and run:

   tzutil /l

   This command will list available time zones. Note the relevant time zone information (e.g., "Eastern Standard Time").

   • Open the .cmd file and edit the time zone setting. Replace "Indian Standard Time" with your preferred time zone in line 17. Save the changes.

3. Run as Administrator:

   • Right-click on the batch file and select "Run as administrator" to execute it with elevated privileges.

4. Schedule the Script:

   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Use the following command to schedule the script for startup by Windows:

     schtasks /create /tn "RunMyScriptAtStartup" /tr "C:\Path\To\YourScript.bat" /sc onstart /ru MyUsername /rp MyPassword

     • Replace "C:\Path\To\YourScript.bat" with the actual path to your script.
     • Replace "MyUsername" and "MyPassword" with your windows login username and password.

5. Complete Setup:

   • The script will now run at every boot, ensuring your system time is always updated with the set timezone.
