Which operating system are you using? I think previous versions of Windows had this feature built in - boy do I remember those days when I was young and always fiddling with that stuff - never did I think I would be messing with the big stuff!

I wouldn't trust any program to do this, either.

i'm using xp pro.
i don't really want it but my wife asked for it.
she moves the mouse just to get rid of the screen saver so she can see the time.
i guess another option is to get her a real clock to put on her desk.

ATI (AMD) has a nice one called "Gargoyle Clock". I'm not sure if you need an ATI graphics card to run it though:

You are all set with Windows. Right click on the desktop, click Properties. Jump to the screensaver tab and select "3D Text" in the drop down box. Then click on Settings and set it to Time.
