Another simple but useful option available in Windows 7, which many may not be aware of, is the ability to display up to 2 additional time zones via the System Tray Clock.

Living in Oz and continually battling the time differences, I have found this to be particularly helpful.

Here’s how:

Left click on the time display in the System Tray and select “Change date and time settings”. Now click on the tab for Additional Clocks. Place a checkmark in the little box next to “Show this clock” and then select the appropriate time zone. Give the clock a suitable name and when all finished click Apply:

Nice one Jim.

I started using this functionality when I began attending my university and it helps to track time differences with ease - just hover your pointer over the clock after its set or click the system tray clock to get a nice two clock view. This is one of those little, seemingly pointless tricks, that somehow just take on a larger role in everyday existence. It can truly be said that it is the little things that matter and make all the difference.

I can honestly say that I would not have ever thought to post a tip like this - nice save.

Thanks Raven.

There is already a seemingly endless (and mind-blowing) array of technical articles out there; full of unrecognizable acronyms, complex descriptions and bewildering terminology.

Seems to me that your 'average' Mum and Dad home users often get left out of the equation......that's the void I try to fill.
