Removing date and day of the week from taskbar

[Mavin]

Hello there!

When I move my taskbar to the right side of the desktop, then
notification area not only displays the time, but also the date and the
day of the week.

I find this information useless and would like to remove it but still
need time to be displayed!


Is there any way to remove date and day of the week info from the
taskbar but leave the clock?


Maybe some registry tweak?


Thanks for your help!

Resize the taskbar so only the time shows.

Right click the taskbar then click to clear the Lock Taskbar option.

Move your cursor over the edge of the taskbar until it becomes a
double-headed arrow.

Left click and drag down to the single height.

Right click the taskbar then click Lock the Taskbar.

Now it can't be moved or resized unless the Lock Taskbar option is cleared
again.

If that doesn't work and you have Quick Launch...

Try small icons in Quick Launch and see what happens.

Right click the Taskbar | Select Lock the taskbar to unlock it | Right click
an empty area of the Quick Launch area and select View | Select Small icons

*View will not appear in the menu if the Taskbar is locked.

Also try placing all the toolbars,including the Quick Launch bar, on one
line then you can probably resize the Task Bar to one line.
