You can try to send the command line "clock.exe" by a function that must be WinExec in Visual C++ (but I'm not sure of it)
Try Start - Run int your Start menu
and type clock, it would do the same
Is that what you want?

Actually you were right, it is WinExec!
If you run control.exe from this function you can make any of the control panel windows show up (fonts, printers, etc.)
So the barebones command-line program to make the clock dialog pop-up would be:
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
WinExec("control.exe date/time", SW_NORMAL);
return 0;
}
