asked on

set date and time in xp while logged in as restricted user

Windows XP SP3.

I need to change the date and time when logged in as a restricted user.   How do I do this?  (I can't seem to find any option that allows me to "Run as administrator".)

Note:  I cannot give users access via Local Policy > User Rights Assignments > Change the System time.

I just need to know how do to some type of "run as administrator" to change the date and time when logged in as a restricted user.

If you are in a domain then you cant - and you should not try to

In a domain it is important that the time is syncronised with the Domain Controller (PDC Emulator).

Unfortunately any malware could also use that stored credentials ...  

No, that really isn't an option.

The only safe way I know is to run a priviliged service which has a interface that could be used by the (unpriviliged) users, e. g. by using shared memory. Then, the service would read the request using IPC and do the changes on the local computer.
