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..........

shady_inc - please mention reference for your quoted line: http://www.windowsitpro.com/Article/...411/39411.html
