is there a way to save it without saving the time
i dont want the time to be changed at all

i looked through autoit already

so i thought about using _NowDate()
but I don't know if i can change it with _NowDate()

Blah I was trying to be quick and wasn't really paying attention. Looks like you could use the functions below to get the current time and set it when generating the new date.

can you write me a small example
my brain isnt working

In the code below $tNew should result in the current day and time. You can change @MDAY or @MON or @YEAR to what ever value you want in order to achieve the date you are looking for.

Ok so this is what I did so far



So basically this should save current date
change date to 1/1/2017
delay 10seconds
then restore back to saved date

but when i ran a test script, the script didn't change my system date at all
am i doing something wrong on the script or is it a permission setting i need to change?

i've ran it as admin also already

You never call _Date_Time_SetSystemTime with $tNew, you only call it with $tCur.
