Date in bottom right corner of taskbar

[J. P. Gilliver (John)]

That's the default position. You must have changed something.

He said date, not time.

If you drag the taskbar to double or more height, I think you get the
date as well as the time.

Otherwise, there are various utilities - TClockEx is the commonest, and
suits me fine, but others prefer others - that let you mess about with
the format (and font) of what appears in the clock area to your heart's
content (for example, I have

Fri, 2014 Nov 11
21:5:42
+0000 GMT Standard Time

in the height only two buttons high).

I'm not aware of anything inbuilt to XP that will let you have the date
_instead of_ the time without adding extra (either utility or height).

If you hover the mouse over the clock, the date will appear as a
tooltip.

And I think that's the best option of all, since it takes up so little
space, and is always there when you need it!

In my case, I have the taskbar two buttons high anyway, so it isn't a
problem having my three lines (at reduced font). But I see what you're
getting at.
