I'm with you, and I greatly prefer Tclock to Tclockex. Despite the
similarity of their names, they are two different programs.
But the important things for Maurice to recognize are
1. He can get what he wants by making the taskbar two or more lines
high.
2. He can get what he wants by installing any of several third-party
programs. Most, if not all, of these are freeware, so rather than
taking the advice of any of us as to which is best, he should try
several (or all) of them and decide for himself which he prefers.
