It is the Win95 'Kernel toy' called Analog Clock, which you can still, I
think, find at
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/d...oy/default.asp

It works fine in XP - it is a 16 bit application.

You know the Help and Support Centre is a marvellous invention - may I
suggest you use it instead of wasting bandwidth asking questions that you
can easily answer yourself if you only bothered to use the tools at your
disposal. Took me all of five seconds to find you an answer via H&S - I am
not going to paste it here because that would be spoon-feeding and that's
not what we're here to do.

Yes, go to Control Panel, Regional and Language Options. Click the
Customize button and go to the Time tab. In the Time setting you will see
something like:

h:mm:ss tt

Change it to:

H:mm:ss tt

This information is available in Help and Support, but searching for 24
Hour. The result "Change the way your computer displays the time" contains
this information.

Oh come on now, play nice and explain the steps you took to locate the
necessary information. Then ac will not have to post back for additional
information....<g>

Sometimes, spoon-feeding is necessary to educate a user. My experience has
been that once introduced to "how to fix it yourself", many users will pride
themselves on their ability to research and do this. Few will continue you
"cry for help", and those can always be told "how many ways do you want me
to explain the answer I already gave you?" and your complaint will be legit!
