Is there a simple way to set the time display in the system tray so that it
shows seconds as well as hours and minutes? Changing the regional display
doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks. - Kennard

None that I've ever found... but I don't need that accurate a system
clock and haven't done heavy research on it <G>

There are probably 3rd-party apps out there that will do it.

Try Google

"Problems"? There is ONE - only ONE issue mentioned, having to do with
TClockEx's lack of transparency on the task bar. The result on my
system is a 1- or 2- pixel underline beneath the clock. Hardly a
"problem".

I've been using it for many years with no problem whatsoever. It works
just fine, is very customizable, and has a handy pop-up calendar.

My advice: stop making things up.

It also doesn't work if you auto-hide your taskbar.
