Hi Chad,
Not necessarily. It only changes once a minute. If you couple that
with
keystrokes, it's not such a big deal. This, and Explorer folder views,
were
always the biggest user complaints I got until I actually did
something
about it.
I have a script that runs from the usrlogon.cmd script that enables
the
clock. I'll send it to you off list. However, I'll explain more about
the
process here for the benefit of others. The script was actually written
by
a thin list oldie...Jeff Durbin. I have only cleaned it up to suite my
requirements, so cannot take the credit for it. It's called
SetTaskBarOptions.vbs. It is located somewhere on the net.
1) Place the file here:
%SystemRoot%\system32\SetTaskBarOptions.vbs
2) Add the following line to the top of the usrlogon.cmd file:
cscript "%systemroot%\system32\SetTaskBarOptions.vbs" //Nologo
Now, the script must run before the explorer.exe process has
initialised,
otherwise the changes will only take effect at the next logon. Also,
the
StuckRects2 key does not exist for new user profiles until the user
has
logged in once, so the clock will not appear until their 2nd logon.
This script takes care of other Taskbar settings too, but I only use it
to
turn on the clock.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
Kind regards,

You *may* also want to reconsider. HAving teh clock showing forces
regular updating of the clock, thus creating screen refreshes, thus
using up bandwidth and processor cycles.

You may need to restart the shell / explorer, if modifying stuckrects.
