Screencast


Usage

Installation
Unzip the executable to where you want it.

Using the Application
Run the executable. Hover the mouse over the system tray icon (a small clock with a green arrow pointing up) to show a tooltip with the system up time. Right-click the system tray icon to open a menu that lets you quit the application.

Uninstallation
Delete the executable. It does not store any information in the registry or create any files.

I wish there were a way to NOT REBOOT after Windows updates and driver installs :(
