I don&#8217;t know if there are third party apps or what, but I just want a clock on the top right of my desktop. Is there something like that in Microsoft Windows 7?<\/p>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dave&#8217;s Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re in luck, actually: it turns out that Windows 7 includes an entire set of small apps that Microsoft calls &#8220;Gadgets&#8221;, one of which is a clock. These desktop Gadgets are intended to be little widgets or gizmos that serve a single, simple purpose and can be scattered throughout your desktop, showing things like system performance, the weather, or even a ticker with the latest news from your favorite RSS-friendly Web site.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s odd is how few people know about them, let alone actually enable them on their WinPCs. Seems like a bit of a failed experiment to me, but that doesn&#8217;t mean that they&#8217;re not cool and useful!<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a look.<\/p>\n<p>First off, it&#8217;s as easy as possible to get to the Gadgets: Simply right-click on an empty spot on your Windows desktop, and it shows up in the contextual menu that appears:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"
