I have edited and created the "Prompt key" in the registry to look
like this:

'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
\Environment\Prompt'

the Prompt value is 'prompt $t $d$_$p$g'

When I run cmd I get the value that 'prompt $t $d$_$p$g' is supposed
to display, but also the user's path. I don't want this current path
to be displayed, all I want is the time and date to be displayed. What
needs to be done? what am I missing?

Thanks in advance

At the command prompt enter

PROMPT /?

it will be apparent
