Can have date, time, day displayed? I forget how I did it, possibly a 3rd party utility, but with Vista I had my day, date, and time always displayed in the tool bar-notifications area. With Windows 7 I have to mouseover the time to see the day and date—even then there's a slight delay.
Any tricks?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Kerry Right click taskbar, properties, clear "small icons". That will give you large icons and the date and time. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Gateway, Toshiba Laptop, and Home Brew OS Windows 7 x64 HP, Windows 7 HP, Windows 7 Ult CPU Intel I3, Cerelon, Pentium 4 @ 3Ghz Motherboard Intel, Intel, Asus Memory 8G, 3G, 3G Graphics Card On-board Intel, On-board nVidia, nVIDIA card Sound Card on-board, on-board, SoundBlaster Monitor(s) Displays Hannspree HF237, Toshiba, SyncMaster 931B Screen Resolution default (all) Keyboard standard wired (all) Mouse standard wired (all) PSU 300w, unk, 650w Case black, black, grey Cooling air (all) Hard Drives 1T internal, 320G internal, 160G internal, 1T networked Internet Speed 6M down, 768K up Other Info Home LAN through Linksys hub to 4 port and wireless switch/router.

When I expand the taskbar up the date/time is fully displayed in the notification area. If I pause the pointer over the date time it shows me a second date/time for Australia. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home Built OS Windows7 beta 7000 CPU Intel E6550 Motherboard Intel DP35DP Memory 8Gb Graphics Card Nvidia 8500 GT Sound Card Intel onboard sound Monitor(s) Displays Two Gateway 22" LCD monitors Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Hard Drives Two 500Gb 7200rpm SATA |

You must have an additional clock set up.
Right click the clock and select adjust date and time, then look on the additional clocks tab. You can set up multiple clocks so that when you hover over the time, you will see not only the time where you are, but also in several other places.. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS Windows 7 Ultimate CPU Amd 5400+ dual core overclocked to 3.0 ghz Motherboard EVGA 590 sli aM2 Memory 8gb 5-5-5-5-15 g-skill Graphics Card Nvidia 9800gt 512mb Sound Card M-Audio Delta 2496 Monitor(s) Displays Acer 22 inch lcd Screen Resolution 1680 x 1050 Keyboard some rubbish I found in my garage Mouse logitech PSU 650 watts Case Antec Sonata II Cooling Zallmen Xpu cooler Hard Drives Hmm
