Follow the following steps: 1. Open Notepad 2. Go to Format->Font. Select your favourite font. 3. Look at the time on the Wall Clock at your home/office and write it in on the NotePad. 4. Save the file at C:\ drive with name currenttime.txt. Or did you expect any other answer ;P

see the extreme bottom-right of your computer screen(where the system time is displayed),double click the system time being displayed...and make the changes :)

There is a little fix : correct solution

public class Win32
{
private Win32()
{
}

    \[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)\]
    public struct SystemTime
    {
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Year;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Month;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short DayOfWeek;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Day;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Hour;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Minute;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Second;
        \[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)\]
        public short Milliseconds;
    }

    \[DllImport("kernel32.dll")\]
    public static extern void GetLocalTime(
    out SystemTime systemTime);

    \[DllImport("kernel32.dll")\]
    public static extern void GetSystemTime(
    out SystemTime systemTime);

    \[DllImport("kernel32.dll")\]
    public static extern bool SetSystemTime(
    ref SystemTime systemTime);

    \[DllImport("kernel32.dll")\]
    public static extern bool SetLocalTime(
    ref SystemTime systemTime);
}

....
in you method do this :
Win32.SystemTime sysTime;

        sysTime.Day = 13;
       // do all needed modification on date and time...
       //....

        Win32.SetSystemTime(ref sysTime);

Make sure that you got admin rights.
