Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the existing Explorer settings entry points and how settings are declared, then add ShowSecondsInClock alongside them. Done means the setting is exposed with the other Explorer settings and enables seconds in the Windows taskbar clock.

Description

It may be a minor addition but having this show in the taskbar has been a setting that I've enabled on all my devices over the years as is very useful for quick glances at the time & allows for questions you may have like

  • I wanna spend just 90s on this section
  • Did that process startup /command complete slower this time than last
  • Toliet break timing
  • Pre-meeting timing countdowns too

etc etc
