I have desperately looked though Internet (and msdn) for the way to
modify the system date & time through a .js or .vbs simple program,
but failed completely.
Reading system time/date is very easy:
var d,s; d = new Date(); s =d.getMonth()+ d.getYear(); but
modifying it is quite another matter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA
Olivier

You can run the TIME and DATE commands under Command Prompt using wsshell.run:

var ws=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell")
ws.Run("cmd /c date 04-12-2007",0,1)

Good Luck, Ayush.

If you trust time as much as I trust all Times are London,
"query" the xmlHttp ResponseHeader of any time server.

Then parse DATE and TIME and set it.

Forget about wm_time and NTP for good.

For those who don't get it.

You query multipolar servers, including Afganihstan and Iraq
and seek an equilibrium.

No matter what the Santa Claus in Washington says.

Thank you for your answer. A few hours after having posted mt
question, I did discover date and time functions, and I felt quite
ashamed, since I started my long carrier with MS-DOS, and I was quite
familiar with these orders.

ws.run is of course a further refinement. It does the job, and since I
do not have any speed requirement, it is technically sufficient.

Purely on an intellectual view, I would have prefered a true object to
be provided to act on the date, rather than this kludge.

Anyway, thank you very much for your prompt support. Olivier

Thank you for your quick support.

I will adopt the full answer of Ayush (just above your answer). Unless
you have a true obhject to access the value.

That approach only makes sense if the programmer can be certain of the
date localisation chosen or accepted by the user. That date string
normally means 4 December 2007, but in the USA they think it means
April 12 2007.

One can, of course, then call Date in VBscript and use the Year,
Month, and Day functions to see whether it has the desired value.

Altering the system date is dangerous.

Microsoft is a USA thing therefore April 12 2007 can easily be considered
the "normal" string. ISTM, "normal" is what is default. Going back to MS-DOS
roots, non-USA formats were provided as optional formats. Of course, one can
write their own OS and specify whatever format they choose to be default and
then call that "normal". It's all a matter of what angle one chooses to view
from.
