I used to set the the computer date and time within autoexec.bat using
the DATE and TIME commands on previous versions of windows, but there
is no autoexec.bat in XP so how would I do this now?

If you want to do it with a batch file just write the batch file as if
you were doing it in autoexec.bat then either place it in the startup
folder or point to it in the registry
hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
