[CQ-Contest] Miniclock problem

Just wanted to make everyone aware of something I noted this 
weekend. I use the program "Miniclock" to give me a mini-window to 
keep time dispayed on the screen.
I noticed that Miniclock and Writelog didn't agree as I logged QSOs, on 
day 2 (it was about 2 minutes ahead, when I noticed). Also noticed that 
Writelog used the time of the clock on the task bar in logging QSOs.
I use WinXP and update my system clock to NIST every 15 minutes. 
So, that means that Miniclock, while running, doesn't get updated, when 
the system time is corrected.
My solution was to terminate and restart Miniclock every now and then. 
Otherwise, I would have thought everyone else operated the contest 2 
minutes too long :.)
