Laurie;

I can get you a little closer. It must be some .dll file that
runs under rundll32.exe. Unfortunately, I don't know which one.
 
I'd sure like to make the clock bigger!!
I mean, white size10 (?) font on a mid blue background!
Gordon Bennett!
I can no longer read mine :-((

Zulu, this isn't in direct response about the clock font size but you might
want to take a look at Windows Blinds. After a trial period with the
program, I purchased it and am enjoying the readability that many of the WB
skins provide. www.stardock.com
 
Ok Sharon...off I go for a look! Thanx
:-)

What is the pgm name for the system clock?

Let's try this one again.
As a lowly user in XP, I "don't have the proper privilege level to
change the System Time", and that prohibits me from even SEEING the
calendar, thus yet another Windoze feature is a bug in disguise.
I assume this is one of those endless permission annoyances new to XP,
so I need the name of the sysclock pgm to increase my User's permission
level.

Accessing the calendar from the time in the tray brings up a screen where
system settings can be configured (timedate.cpl). It is the changing of
settings that is off limits to a limited user.

Hovering the mouse over the clock will bring up the current date/day but it
will not bring up the calendar. If a more complete calendar is needed, a
calendar program may be the way to go.

If you actually need access to the date/time control panel, it is probably
better to use RunAS and run timedate.cpl with administrator credentials (if
you have them) than to try to change permissions for this one object.
