Windows 2000 Taskbar - Toolbar

Hide the Taskbar Clock

SUMMARY: Ditch the Windows 2000 taskbar clock to save room for more on your taskbar.


 

It can be very convenient to have the time displayed on the Windows 2000 taskbar. However, if you need more room to show your QuickLaunch area or list of currently running programs, you can hide the clock. Just right-click on the clock and choose "Properties". When the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" menu appears, uncheck "Show clock" and press "OK".

Yes, but the clock returns after a reboot, or a new logon.

Just got it to work, with sequence recommended by Microsoft: Start -> Settings -> Taskbar & Menu. Uncheck the clock box.

If you start by R-clicking on clock or Taskbar, you get to what looks like the same window, but the clock always returns after a logon or reboot. Can't explain it, but after going through the Context Menu, having failure, editing the Registry, then adding entries to Registry, nothing made the change stick. The first reboot after Microsoft's sequence, and the clock is gone at last.

I think ... the title of this article should read, "Hide the Notification Area Clock." Is there ever a Taskbar Clock?
