   There is also a "registry hack."  BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!!!   
      
   Open Regedit, and navigate to the following key.   
      
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DateTime\Servers   
      
   Add a new String Value, and name it with a number (you will see there   
   are already a "1" and a "2." Double-click the new String Value to edit   
   it, and enter the server name. This will add the server of your choice   
   to the list.
