Clock display in lower menu bar

The clock display in the bottom right hand corner of the screen is now
showing the day of the week, as well as the time. This would not be a
problem, except that it doubles the height of the menu bar and is therefore
very annoying. I don't know what I did to cause this, but I cannot find any
way to get rid of it again.
Please can anyone tell me what I have to do to display the time without the
day of the week.

Actually you have the cause and effect backward. It's because the Task Bar
is two lines high that the day is showing.

The task bar bar is resizable, like a window. Put the cursor on the edge and
make it turn into a double-headed arrow. Then click and drag it to the size
you want.

If it won't resize, it may be locked. In that case, right click on it and
uncheck "Lock the taskbar," Then try again.

Also note that if you have toolbars on the taskbar on multiple lines, you
won't be able to reduce the taskbar size to fewer than that number of lines.
Put all the toolbars on one line first.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

But let me point out that I almost missed your "thank you" because you
didn't quote anything of the previous message. Many newsgroup participants
(including me) either delete or hide already-read messages, and a reply
without a quote is usually incomprehensible to most of us.
