Windows 7 automatically changes the time in Taskbar

[jmt356]

I am setting the time in my Taskbar to a time that is not the real local time, and Windows 7 keeps on switching it back automatically to the real local time. How can I stop this behavior?

Right-click on the time, select Adjust Date/Time, select the Internet Time tab, click on Change Settings and deselect "Synchronize with an internet server"

Or maybe stop the W32TIME Windows Time service, temporarily?

How would this be done?

Type services.msc in the search box in the Start menu, then click Enter.
Scroll down until you see Windows Time, and select this item in the list.
Click Stop the service.
