You know the problem: you want to quickly look at a calendar so you double click the tray clock to bring up the Windows Date and Calendar Applet. You then have to flick forward a couple of months to the date you want. Then you have to flick back to ensure that you don’t accidentally change the system date. It’s all so tedious. LClock is a tray clock replacement that solves this by popping up its own calendar with a single click on the tray clock. And it’s not just a static calendar: you can use it for reminders and to-dos. It all works marvelously well and as a bonus you get a clock display that looks like the one in Vista. LClock is based on TClock lite that I featured in Issue #139. It’s highly customizable but unfortunately unlike TClock Lite, LClock doesn’t allow a simultaneous time and date display. Ah, perfection is so elusive ;>) Many thanks to subscriber Fred Hayes for the suggestion. Freeware, Windows XP, XP64, 2003, 186KB. http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/1092761816/1
