I've tried a lot of them but looking for a reliable one that's got a very small memory footprint.
Thx.

dadx2mj hit it on the head...
if you are running XP double click the clock ... its built in.
Dont use MS clock tho...I use time.nist.gov
or check here
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/service/its.htm
download their software and run in quite mode
it will run in the background and keep you clock updated to the National Standards clock

The one above is cool, just installed it and it's selectable to automatically adjust the time daily too.

Thanks JCIV... that's exactly what I was looking for. Automatic and simple.
I'd downloaded one earlier and the F!*%ing think installed an Adware application.
And NO, WinXP will be installed in this workstation only after you've pried my copy of Win2K Pro from my cold, dead hands...

I use
NetTime. It's small, it's free, it's unobtrusive and no adware. However, there's a bug to look out for: during install, you have an option to run it in your tray...deselect the option, or you'll never get it to stay out of your tray.
