Second or more digital desktop clock on the Windows desktop!?
Would you like to use a simple yet stylish digital Windows desktop clock with different fonts, designs, and customization options – and have it on multiple desktops?
It's possible! To use a second or even multiple instances of DesktopDigitalClock , simply create a copy of the executable (EXE) file, rename it, and add a unique ID.
1. Create a copy of the DDC_x64.exe file .
2. Rename the copy, for example, by adding a unique ID.
Examples:
- DDC_x64_copy.exe → DDC_x64_id=2025.exe
- Subsequent instances can be named accordingly, e.g.:
- DDC_x64_id=2023.exe
- DDC_x64_id=2024.exe
This method gives each instance its own ID , which is used to store individual settings.
2.) Background to the function
While the DesktopDigitalClock officially offers the ability to run multiple instances, this feature hasn't been released yet due to minor bugs.
However, simply renaming and launching a copy will work without a problem!
3.) Also works with TheAeroClock and TheClassicClock!
This method can be used not only for the DesktopDigitalClock , but also for TheAeroClock and TheClassicClock
. Again, multiple instances can be easily run by simply renaming and launching a copy.
4.) Who benefits?
This feature is especially useful for:
✅ Users with multiple or very large screens – Place different clocks in multiple positions on your desktop.
✅ Fans of design and customization – Use different designs and colors for different clocks.
✅ People who want to keep an eye on multiple clocks – Display several clocks at the same time, ideal for desktop clock lovers.
