I just fulfilled my own request I came up with an hour earlier ;D

Since I don't reboot my almost perfectly healthy Windows 2000 too often and also don't want to run an app 24/7 just to sync my system time I came up with this script, which uses http://www.arachnoid.com/abouttime/ to do the job at night - AboutTime starts, syncs, and quits after a few seconds.

I love AutoHotkey doing stuff for me while I sleep! :D

As always, feel free to comment and improve it!
