[go4saket]

Hi guys!

I am on Win XP and want to display seconds along with the time in the main task bar and that too withour the help of any additional software. Is it possible and if yes, how???

Thank you.

Windows can't be tweaked to show seconds. 3rd party software is must

Use

http://www.rcis.co.za/dale/tclockex/index.htm - Works under XP, but may not work well with Windows XP themes as it cannot display color schemes of XP.

Second is http://www.drive-software.com/windowsclock.html - With almost 100 themes for displaying Clock but can't use Windows style.

This dates backs to win95 days when displaying seconds was considered too processor intensive.The trend continues..........
