configuring NTP settings on Windows programatically

Tags: ntp, settings, windows
Hello. I am trying to find out the best mechanism to use so that I can programmatically synchronize the PC clock with that of an NTP server. This is for WindowsXP/Win2K. As I understand, Windows already supports this via "Adjust Date/Time"->"Internet Time"->"Automatically synchronize with an Internet time server" menu configuration. Is there a Win32 API or something that would allow me to accomplish the same functionality from a C++ program? I understand that there are a series of registry settings but perhaps there is an API that I can use to do this easily? Thanks.
