Nevermind...I found it elsewhere.
Thanks

Tis a shame...another 'left-out' of the Microsoft settings.

I do too on my Vista side but my XP side does not. On my XP system at home I
also have the full date. I am guessing it has to do with the video drivers.

In either case, I found a utility that does it.
TClock lite...not to confuse with TClockEX mentioned earlier.
http://homepage1.nifty.com/kazubon/

It adjusts the actual taskbar display and provides the ability to customize
it. There is also a timer and alarmclock feature and a sync setting and it
integrates seemlessly into the existing 'right-click' context menu.

A beautifully done utility. And freeware.

Thanks for your reply as well.

I checked and apparently TC2 does the same but adds more customizing such as
skin support and more icon tweaks. Time features still seem to be the same.
I wouldnt mind that fart.wav as long as it wasnt custom created.

Sorry for the bad link - it used to be correct. How about
letting us know the correct link?

I just did a google search and found a number of links. I grabbed it from
PCMagazines download site but since its freeware, I'm sure Tuocows has it as
well.

In either case it is not an elegant solution. That utility only overlays the
actual clock display. With a resized taskbar using the resolution I have, the
overlay does not completely cover the old display. It also has a refresh
problem. I assume it works fine on a 800x600, single line taskbar display but
it does not work for me.

So if anyone else has a suggestion, please consider this issue still open.

Thanks

What happens if you make your taskbar three lines high? I have 1024x768
resolution and a two line display, but I get a three line time/day/date
display on the right side of the taskbar.

Bill

As I mentioned, my XP system at home also gives me day/date/time with a 2
line display. Must be the graphics card. But TClock lite works great if your
not getting all three catagories.
