We\u2019ve created two hacks: One that will show seconds in the system clock, and one that will reverse the change and hide seconds from the clock. Both are included in the following ZIP file. Double-click the hack you want to use, agree to the prompt, and then sign out and sign back in again for your changes to take effect.<\/p>\n<p>Show Seconds In System Clock Hacks<\/p>\n<p>These hacks just set the <code>ShowSecondsInSystemClock<\/code> value in the same way we described above. Running the \u201cShow Seconds In System Clock\u201d hack creates the <code>ShowSecondsInSystemClock<\/code> value with a value data of <code>1<\/code>, while running the \u201cRemove Seconds From System Clock\u201d hack deletes the <code>ShowSecondsInSystemClock <\/code> value from your registry. If you\u2019re ever curious what these or any other .reg files do, you can right-click them and select \u201cEdit\u201d to view their contents in Notepad, or any other plain text editor.
