But I'll add a word of caution: do not mix up TClock.exe with TCLockex.exe. Despite the similarity of their names, they are two different programs, and in my view, TClock is much better than TClockex. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) since 2003 Please Reply to the Newsgroup

I would hope so, but with such similar names, I've seen lots of confusion over the two. So I thought that mentioning the other one would help avoid any mixup. > "Ken Blake, MVP" <kblake(a)this.is.an.invalid.domain> wrote in message > news:k6odp55qkp2kbb39tl9mfl5ihnp184k8fs(a)4ax.com... > > On Tue, 9 Mar 2010 23:35:15 -0000, > > > > > > I'll second the motion for TCLock, which is my favorite program of > > that type.

Well, there' s a couple recommendations there but no reference for why they're relevant. People should really learn how to trim. The OP's original quest should never be snipped.
