Add International Time Clocks to Your Taskbar

Another annoying omission in Windows 8 is that the time and date are no longer shown on your Taskbar.

Although a clock is displayed on the Lock screen, you will need to press the Windows key + C or click the right-hand side of your screen (which will also launch the Charms bar) to bring up the time in the bottom-left corner.

In contrast, Windows 7 and Vista let you add extra clocks to your Taskbar, so you can see what the time is in different countries. Right-click the existing clock, choose ‘Adjust date/time’ and click the Additional Clocks tab. Select one or both of the ‘Show this clock’ options, then choose a different time zone from the drop-down menu.

To view the extra clocks, just hover your mouse over the main one. It is a handy extra if you have friends or family who live abroad. This will works with Windows Vista and 7.
