Need a clock inside of Outlook 2003

I am running Outlook 2003 as a thin client, in full screen mode.  My
terminal server admin locks us into just outlook, no windows desktop.

The problem is I am used to seeing the clock in the system tray, and
now I have no system tray since I run the terminal services client in
full screen mode.  I now lose track of time.

Is there any way to get a clock in outlook.  Somewhere where it is
always showing.  my exchange admin said he would be happy to install
something and so would the terminal services admin (if there was
something for the Outlook client). There is no way to get access to
the windows desktop in the terminal server, so I need something that
will run in outlook, or at least be launch-able from outlook and that
will run in a corner of the screen.  If this was possible I could
shrink my outlook window slightly and see a background program that
was running there.

Having something in a Outlook toolbar would be ideal! Or maybe
something that would run in outlooks frame or in the folder list. 
something visible at all times, or at least most of the time.

If a background program was the only way to go, then can my term
server admin set up a script, or modify the command he uses to get the
sever to launch outlook when I log in.  The current command is this:

In the user?s profile, he goes to the Environment tab and sees:
?Start the following program on login? is checked, and has this in the
box below it where he puts. C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\OUTLOOK.EXE

Could this be modified to launch outlook and an background app?  If
so, how is this done? Maybe a batch script? What should it contain?
How do you write a batch script??

thanx in advnce

You might try something like this:

If your admin can place a clock on your desktops, then apply this program:

Actual Transparent Windows

...your Outlook windows will be transparent and you can actually see
clock on the desktop without accessing it.
