    Hide or Show Seconds on Taskbar Clock in Windows 10

    PERFECT. If one is a day-trader, seconds count!*Tongue
     
  5. I found a web-site in December that showed how to do this through step by step instruction. I got zapped by a "Trojan" last week and was forced to re-install Windows.
    Do you think I could find that web site to do it again but no luck.
    I Googled again and found this link.
    Thanks for the .bat files, executed it and poof instantly there they were, the missing seconds.

    the tutorial for how to show show seconds on the taskbar system clock worked perfectly.
    is there a way to add 2 spaces so that the seconds are separated from the colon ?

    Such a little thing, but it's surprisingly comforting to see the seconds tick by - a visible reminder that all's well and the system is up and running. One of my favourite tips, thanks!
