I managed to get it fixed. Apparently the problem was that when a program's shortcut is placed in the Windows startup directory, the program will not be run as administrator. BktTimeSync must be run as administrator.
As a solution, I placed a Visual Basic script in the Windows startup folder, which contained a statement to execute the bkttimesync.exe program. I also ensured that the bkttimesync.exe file's properties were set so that it would always be executed as administrator.
This allowed bkttimesync.exe to run successfully when Windows is started. I did notice that during startup I got a warning asking if I wanted to allow the program to make changes to the computer. This paused everything until I clicked to allow the program to run. To avoid that warning, I relaxed the security settings so that I no longer get that warning for any program. On most computers I would be concerned about allowing this, but this computer is used only for specific radio programs, not for web browsing etc.
Anyway, it's working great now, and I'm very happy to have the time set by BktTimeSync.
