System Date

[DaLiMan]

I need to change System Date so now and then.

( I bet you all know why... )

Can this be done with Auto-It ???

You could attempt to automate it using the windows clock, or using the DOS command: Date.

I use this to set the date back 1 year for some things that we run. I write the current date to a registry key and then read that registry key to reset the date:

Change date to 1 year ago:

$date = @MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR
RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DateChange", "Date", "REG_SZ", $date)
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "date " & @MON & "/" & @MDAY & "/" & @YEAR-1, "", @SW_HIDE)

Reset the date back to the current date:

$date = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DateChange", "Date")
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "date " & $date, "", @SW_HIDE)

Hi smasher953,

Just copied your code to try it, but nothing happens.

The Auto-It icon just remains in the tray.

Could there be something different on my PC?
