Even though Larry doesn't want to play with the registry it is IMHO the fastest and easiest, and, you don't have someone else' utility doing exactly that automagically for you.
In WIN7 I've done...
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32time\TimeProviders\NTPClient and changed SPECIALPOLLINTERVAL to a decimal 3600 or whatever you want.

Hi Larry,
run regedit and change the update interval
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\W32Time\Config
change UpdateInterval to 3600 (decimal) -> every hour

Hi Larry,
Time synchronization is scheduled in the 'Task Manager' of Win 7. Open 'Task Manager' and look for the item and edit it. Thanks for bringing this to my attention as I just upgraded (?) to Win 7. I set mine to sync at startup as I turn the PC off at night. My tracking software (Nova) also does it when it is started. Also updates Keps.

My PC's clock keeps getting off by enough to cause problems on near overhead passes. I've seen it off by more than 30 seconds. It is using Internet synchronization, which happens once a week. Is there a way to force Windows 7 to automatically update clock more frequently than once per week. Please don't tell me to monkey with the Windows Registry. I know PC clocks are notoriously inaccurate, but this is
ridiculous.
