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 W7 I have to mouseover the time to see the day and date—even then there's a slight delay.

Any tricks?

Thanks,

Kerry

Right click taskbar, properties, clear "small icons". That will give you large icons and the date and time.

Takes a little playing around with to get it configured, but I find it works well under Windows 7

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.

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..
