I need to time some things, thought it would be nice to do this...
Or maybe a better question: Can the date/time format in the Windows task bar be changed?

Can you display milliseconds in the time/date on the Windows 7 taskbar?

These are the only customization's you can make using the native Windows tray clock, milliseconds are not available.
- Click the Clock in your Windows 7 system tray and then Select Change date and time settings.
- Click Change date and time
- Click Change calendar settings
- From here you can change your date and time display using the preset Windows 7 format. Select one from the drop-down lists, but if you want something more customized Click Additional settings
Click the "Additional Settings" button to make other customizations

1It's worth pointing out that, as stated in the last screenshot, seconds can only be displayed in the "long time" format. The system tray uses "short time". – Iszi – 2012-02-27T04:36:31.733
1Correct, the answer to the question is No, any way you stack it. There probably is some 3rd party software to do it, maybe. – Moab – 2012-02-27T17:36:22.793

To what degree do you want to change the format? I don't think you can get it down to milliseconds, and it seems that you can't get seconds to display in the tray either. There may be some third-party tools to facilitate this, though. – Iszi – 2012-02-27T04:10:43.293
1If you need to time things, you will want something that starts counting from
00:00:00upon the press of a button. The task bar will most likely not give you accurate results when trying to time things, that's also the reason why it doesn't have milliseconds... – Tamara Wijsman – 2012-02-27T04:20:29.943
