CLOCK AND CALENDAR

Another useful application is the Clock that is displayed on the right corner of the taskbar.

Double-click on the clock to open the Date and Time Properties dialog box. If you have the administrator privilege, you can change the date and time.

On the left side, the current month's calendar is displayed. To see the calendar of a different month, select the appropriate month from the month drop down list box. To change the year, click on the year spinner (see up/down arrows)to select the year you want.

To change the time, click on the digital clock. Highlight the hour, minute or second by just dragging the mouse pointer over it. Now, use the up/down arrows to change the value as required. You can see the time changing in the analog clock accordingly. Click OK after you finish.

Your clock would have been setup to show the time of your place by default. Suppose you want to check the time in some other time zone. How do we do that? Click on the Time Zone tab. Your current time zone is displayed there. You can see from the picture below that mine is Indian Standard Time.

Now, if you want to see the time in Singapore, select the appropriate item from the drop down list box like this and Click OK to finish.

Now, you can see the Singapore time displayed in the clock. To revert to your timezone, repeat the same steps listed above.
