despite GPO, missing clock causes me to weep

[Mike Stantz]

I keep having this problem crop up on my Citrix boxes. For some
reason, when a user logs in, no clock is displayed. Even if I go into
my GPO and specifically DISABLE the hiding of the clock, I still can't
get the f'n thing to come up. At some point in the past, it showed up
again, but it is again back, vexing me once again.



I read somewhere that if you force the classic shell that this will
remove the clock, and last time, I was, so I think that's how I got it
back. But in my current GPO I am not forcing the classic shell.



Could it have something to do with me setting the taskbars to be locked
or a related issue? I have combed through my Start Menu GPO options
1,000 times, as well as each and every other setting in my entire User
and Computer GPO's and I simply can't find what would be causing this.



Running a RSoP query and then searching it for "clock" (or
"notification") brings to light nothing.


I am at a loss. Does anyone know how I can find a list of all other
GPO settings that would affect the clock?



Thanks.

Not sure about your clock problem, but a spreadsheet with all available GP
settings can be downloaded from

It's perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
