How do I display 24 hour clock in my Task Bar?

I've been trying without success to work out how to change the default window clock in the task bar from 12 hr am/pm clock to 24 hour clock.

Is this possible and if so how can I do it without carrying out major harikari (on me) secret, wink, nod, secret handshake programming changes.

unless there is a regedit profile command I would say you havent got a chance? Usually in the registery there are on off switched that can realy customise windows that are not a mouse click. but in your case you are lucky, i have had two bottles of wine and remember nothing so this is by the big toe. Go to start -then click control panel then select regional and language options and select advanced. Ok here is the kicker select the time tab, then select HH:mm:ss and your home and hosed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee i am numb..........no viewing tonight

Not bad for a two bottler. The only thing you missed was click the "customize" button and not the "Advanced" tab. Otherwise everything is hunky dory.

In addition to the 24hr clock in the system tray (or "Notification Area" as I think they now call it), I have TClockEx (http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/fil...scription.html) running on startup to provide the date as well. Highly configurable to the date/day/time format of your choice. I do believe it also has timezone capababilities built in, but I already have another clock (well, wristwatch actually) close to UTC.
