time in making task bar take up two vertical spaces

[marcy]

A friend brought their laptop to me. In the bottom right systray,
it shows time, day, and date (one above the other). That causes
the taskbar to take up at least two spaces at the bottom. They
don't want to hide it. I can't find a program (like Tclockexe) that
is on the machine and might cause it.

Any ideas????

Thanks,

That's the way the standard WinXP clock looks when you have a two tier
taskbar. You should be able to "grab" the top of the taskbar and reduce it
to one width. Must right-click the taskbar, first, and make sure "Lock the
taskbar" is not checked. Once you have a single-height taskbar, lock it
again.

TitleBarClock Pro, maybe?

No, you have it backwards. The fact that the task bar is two lines
high makes the extra clock data display.

There's probably a toolbar, such as the QL bar in addition to the
running tasks bar. You need to set them side-by-side, then the Taskbar
can be resized. To do that, click the vertical spacer left of the lower
bar, and slide it to the right and up. That should get the two bas
adjacent to each other. One they're tall and adjacent, you can resize
the height, and lock the Taskbar to prevent resizing again.
