How can I get the system tray on my second monitor?
Whenever I play games, those will always launch on the main monitor.
Since the system tray where the clock is located is only displayed on the taskbar on the main monitor, I can't see what time it is while playing my games unless I alt-tab.
What can I do to get the system tray on my secondary screen?

A workaround could be installing a clock gadget and putting it on the 2nd monitor.

I just found this method that works quite well.
- Right click on any taskbar, then uncheck
Lock all taskbars. - Move the main taskbar (the one with the system tray on it) to a screen of your choosing. You can do this by dragging the whole taskbar.
- (optional) Right click on any taskbar and check
Lock all taskbarsagain.
While playing games, the clock will remain visible at all times.
Tested and works on Windows 7, 8/8.1, and 10.
Starting with Build 14328, the clock will remain on all taskbars in Windows 10.
Taskbar clock on all monitors: We heard a lot of requests for this from our gaming community. We’re happy to announce that for the first time since the taskbar was created, if you have multiple monitors and your taskbar set to show on all displays, the clock will now be visible on each Taskbar.
Edit 2016-08-05: This feature has been shipped with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (version 1607)

True, and moving it to another monitor may very well be a Windows 8+ thing (since it's the first to inherently support taskbars on more than one monitor). But the idea of unlocking and moving the taskbar around to different edges (and now different edges on different monitors) is a basic feature of Windows. Anyhow, carry on. :)

If you want just clock and time (instead of the whole System Tray), you can install 8GadgetPack, then install it and add the gadgets for date and time, and drag them to the taskbar in the second monitor.
This way, you have the date and time in both monitors.

It's not a single gadget. After installing 8GadgetsPack, get the "Calendar" and "Digiclock" gadgets (double click on them) and move them to the other monitor.

Windows 7 - In display control panel click on the screen where you want the taskbar. Check the "make this my main monitor" box. The taskbar will move to that screen automatically.

Welcome to Superuser! When answering, make sure you read the whole question carefully. In this case, they mentioned that the problem is having the taskbar on the main monitor, so moving the taskbar by switching which monitor is the main isn't going to fix the problem.

If you want just clock and time (instead of the whole System Tray), you can install 8GadgetPack, then install it and add the gadgets for date and time, and drag them to the taskbar in the second monitor.
This way, you have the date and time in both monitors.

If you want just clock and time (instead of the whole System Tray), you can install 8GadgetPack, then install it and add the gadgets for date and time, and drag them to the taskbar in the second monitor.
This way, you have the date and time in both monitors.

Where do you get get the date/time gadgets? The only time related gadget I see is the analog Clock which is not ideal.

It's not a single gadget. After installing 8GadgetsPack, get the "Calendar" and "Digiclock" gadgets (double click on them) and move them to the other monitor.

Windows 7 - In display control panel click on the screen where you want the taskbar. Check the "make this my main monitor" box. The taskbar will move to that screen automatically.

Welcome to Superuser! When answering, make sure you read the whole question carefully. In this case, they mentioned that the problem is having the taskbar on the main monitor, so moving the taskbar by switching which monitor is the main isn't going to fix the problem.

A workaround could be installing a clock gadget and putting it on the 2nd monitor.

@Wutnaut That would only work on Vista or 7, since those are the only versions to support Gadgets.

@Wutnaut I decided not to, so that other answers may provide solutions for other versions of Windows. Of course, you're free to post your comment as answer.

Other gadget utilities are available, e.g. Rainmeter.
