Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Hi,

got the same problem. Advice below does not help. In addition to the clock,

I also have the name of the day in the taskbar - can't get rid of it. I don't

need it, but I NEED the date!

I have no third party software for this task, just basic XP Pro.

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Bob,

please, even if I make the taskbar 3-4-5-6-7 lines high, I don't get the

date back!

And in the past I did have 2 line taskbar with date and time. The date only

disappeared about 1 week ago - or so.

Perhaps if you change the "Long Date" to show only the date, that might

change the way it's displayed on the time too. Change the display in

Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Regional Options, or

Customize area.

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

That's somewhat odd. Try r-click Taskbar, Properties, UNtick "show

clock", Apply, then Tick Show Clock, and apply. See if the toggling off

and on resets it.

If that doesn't do it I would go to Regional and Language Option and

then Advanced and play with the Short Date, set it to someting

different, apply, and change it back and Apply.

Hi Elmo,

The "Short date" controls the Date display. (at least in the English US)

setting

been there - done all that - it's weird - I know. But it can't be SUE, must

If it was a week ago, do you have a system restore date just before it

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

Re: Lost "current date" from taskbar

I have the same problem. The date was the only thing that use to show on my

taskbar. But, since Windows SP3 update, I now have the time and day of the

week, e.g., Monday, displayed on two separate lines. If I enlarge the

taskbar, the date is shown as well, but it requires a really large taskbar.

What is worse, I have tried to customize my taskbar the way it was before

and discovered that my options "always show, always hide and hide when

inactive" cannot be changed from their present settings. So, if an icon is

set to always hide, I cannot change the setting to always show, as was the

case before the SP3 update.

No third party programs and apparently, no viruses. Hope someone can assist.
