How to get rid of the clock… because we already know what time it is. Explains how to do it on each system or through the group policy editor.

Hide the Clock in Any Windows OS > XP:

1. Right click on a blank area of the taskbar
2. Select Properties
3. Click Taskbar tab
4. Uncheck Show the Clock

Hide the Clock with the Group Policy Editor in XP Pro or Vista:

open the group policy editor
Start\Run type gpedit.msc

now move through the left pane to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar\

now to the right find the key: Remove Clock from the system notification area
double click and select enable

you have just removed the clock from your taskbar!
