The time (not the date) does show up by default. To (re)add it:
Right click on the taskbar
Click properties

Click for full sizeClick
Turn system icons on or off...
Click for full sizeTurn on
Clock
Click for full size
- Right click on the taskbar and select properties
- In the Notification area heading, click the Customize button
- Click on the "Turn system icons on or off"
- The first item should be clock. Select on instead of off.
- Click ok.
Additionally, if Time is seen but not Date, you might need to uncheck "Use small icons"
You'll need to right click on the Taskbar, select Properties, then uncheck the box for "Use small icons"
Taken from this site, hope it works.

keyboard shortcut and I like it a lot :)
