Little tool to get and set the windows system timer values. It uses the following WinAPI methods to retrieve and set the values:

NtQueryTimerResolution
NtSetTimerResolution
TimeBeginPeriod
TimeEndPeriod

It can also set 0.5 ms as timer resolution.

Verison 3 minimizes to system tray and can be started with command line arguments "-t peroidVal" and "-minimized". e.g. put a .bat file into your autostart with the following code:

C:\PathToTool\TimerTool.exe -t 0.5 -minimized

Or if you want to run it automatically at startup and hide the cmd after execution, update the bat file from above and replace with:

start "" "C:\PathToTool\TimerTool.exe" -t 0.5 -minimized
exit
