I usually have my taskbar hidden and have to keep touching it in order to

read the correct time. Is there any way I can move the time read out to my

desk top and off the task bar? I know in Vista this is already available. I

use Win XP Home Edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    No, but there are third-party desktop clocks available. Google will

    turn up several choices.

    You're welcome. Glad to help.

     

    There are lots of knowledgeable helpful folks here, though--not just

    MVPs.

    Just wanted to say thanks again. I took your advice and went to Google and,

    wow, that's a lotta clocks. I have one now and it works well, also a new

    clock screensaver. I'm not yet ready to try Vista. Too many problems yet,

    even if it has a nifty desktop clock. Thanks again Ken. Steven, Northglenn, CO

    You're welcome again. By the way, I run Vista here, and have *no*

    problems with it.
