I found a time-sync program, Dimension 4, Thinking Man Software - Dimension 4 v5.3, that runs hidden. I'm experimenting with it.
Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. I will post when I have a resolution.

Hmm, Callender's post gave me an idea for a search.
Make Windows synchronize time more often - scroll down to "How to do it: A different scheduled task"
It involves resyncing more frequently with a new scheduled task. Changing the task already present doesn't work! Task can be run as frequent as 5 minutes.
Need confirmation whether it would work in domain environment. It uses w32tm.exe /resync. This might be better than a 3rd party tool if it works for you.
Well, she's an admin in name only. Pretty much clueless about computers, so I don't think that'd be an issue. I'm going to try to add System permissions and see if that gets me to where I want. Otherwise I will create a task that schedules the w32time exe to run every hour or so.
By the way--great group of people here.

Like one of the others mentioned; have you tried to search and see if there is a way to remove the adjust date/time heading from the clock when you right click on it; or even when you double click on it? Try searching the forums using the forum search box and see if it helps ya out any.
I just tried this on my home PC, Win 7 x64.
I manually changed the time so it is wrong.
I removed Administrators from the Local Security Policy per Shawn's tutorial.
I attempted to manually change time and was blocked.
I manually ran the built in SynchronizeTime scheduled task.
The scheduled task updated the time correctly, no errors.
Maybe it works different on a Domain, but i don't have the issue on my home PC.
