You can also simply press the Ctrl key and hold it down as you click a taskbar button to achieve this behavior, but LastActiveClick makes it the default behavior when you click a taskbar button\u2014no holding down a key required.

Most people won\u2019t need this, but that precision is valuable. After all, Windows automatically synchronizes your PC\u2019s clock with network time servers so it should be accurate down to the second.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t possible on Windows 7 without a third-party utility that modifies your taskbar clock. In fact, Microsoft first experimented with this feature back in the 90s. It caused performance problems on PCs back then, so it was removed before the release of Windows 95. Now, 25 years later, you can finally get seconds on your taskbar by adding the \u201cShowSecondsInSystemClock \u201d value to your registry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Make Windows 10&#8217;s Taskbar Clock Display Seconds<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_3D_Objects_and_Other_Folders_From_This_PC\"><\/span>Remove 3D Objects (and Other Folders) From This PC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-670009 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/3-3d-objects.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"The 3D Objects folder in File Explorer\" width=\"650\" height=\"323\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The \u201cThis PC\u201d view in Windows 10\u2019s File Explorer includes quite a few folders you may never use, like \u201c3D Objects.\u201d C\u2019mon, Microsoft: How many Windows users really need a folder for 3D models front and center in their file managers?<\/p>\n<p>While Windows doesn\u2019t offer an obvious way to remove them from the This PC view, you can do it in the registry.
