Windows 10: How can I make the date and time autoconfigure itself through cmd?

Hello,


I am creating a simple .bat program and I would like to know if there is a way to set the current time and date automatically like you would do in settings when you turn on "Set time automatically".


Additionally, is there a way to make the .bat program run automatically when the folder it is located in is opened?


Is there a way to make the .bat program run automatically when a file in the same directory is opened? I would like to make it run automatically when I open a shortcut


Thanks and have a nice day!

:)
