Maybe this already exists, or can be done with some batch file.  If so, let me know.

Shortcut on desktop.  Double-click.  Timer window comes up and starts counting up automatically.  In HH:MM:SS format.

No need even for a stop button.  Can simply be able to close the window/program.

Count-up window and digits should be large enough to be able to easily see.  Preferably allow user to select colors of digits and background, to suit their mood.

A zillion advanced timers out there in cyberland.  But not what I'd like as described above.

All help greatly appreciated.

Perhaps my TenTimer app would fit the bill?  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/fp/?page=ten-timer

If not, give this article a read; maybe one of those is more what you had in mind.  http://lifehacker.com/574...indows-timer-applications

My bet is on SnapTimer.  =]

Maybe I'm wrong but that looks like it's a countdown timer.

I think a basic stopwatch program that starts when run is nearer the mark, perhaps tranglos' Stopwatch ?

Or the SwiftTec version is even simpler.

If you set the minutes to zero, it acts as a countup timer.   smiley

SnapTimer is PERFECT, particularly knowing about the set-zero suggestion.  Couldn't ask for a better choice.

And Tranglos' Ethervane Stopwatch is a super good one, too.

Thanks to both of you!

Skwire... DONE!
