   I just now quit trying to search for a "Free XP Analog Clock" because   
   the 3 sites I found in my search, including CNET, after I had downloaded   
   the clock setup file the setup program wanted to Download something.   
      
   I had went to my Admin account and clicked on the digital clock on the   
   taskbar to see if it could be changed to Analog like I could on Win3.1 .   
      
   But there wasn't an option to do it, so I went searching on Ask.com for   
   a Analog Clock to use on my Limited account Desktop.   
      
   I got tired after tries that wanted access to the net to 'install' a   
   clock.   
      
   Do you know of one I can get that isn't so aggrevating?  Thanks!
