How to Install Desktop Clocks

Computers usually come with a clock already installed on the desktop. The clock is located on the bottom right-hand side of the screen, near the desktop toolbar. If you want to move the clock to a different location or would like to customize the clock, you can download and install a new one.


  1. Visit ClocX.net to find a list of desktop clocks that can be downloaded to your computer. You can choose from a variety of types including digital or analog styles. You can also choose the size of the clock and the colors of it.

  2. Right click on the download button, and click the "Save As" link on the dropdown menu. A window will pop up that displays the status of the download. Follow the prompts from the installation wizard to run the download on your computer.

  3. Open the folder where the clock was saved. Right click on the name of the clock file, and choose "Unzip Here" from the dropdown menu. This unzips the file and moves it to the folder or location where you chose to extract it.

  4. Click on the button that says "Setup.exe." Another installation window will pop up. Follow the on-screen directions to install the downloaded clock onto your computer.

  5. Click on the "Startup Windows" in the program folder of your computer. Click on the "Appearance" tab.

  6. Choose the size of the clock, color of the clock and any other customizable options. Click on the "Save" buttons to change the look of your desktop clock.
