Eversince I upgraded to 2003 SE, both date & time are being displayed in my taskbar. I would want to remove the date portion or modify the size but i can't see it in the Settings. Could someone help me? If it involves editing the registry, please instruct me how, i have a registry editor ready, although i haven't used it since :)

Hi

Read "Tweaking BA registry" in BlueAngel's wiki section.

Himalaya Registry is mostly the same, so the date format registry tweak will work for you.

Good luck

Alternatively, if you're lazy, grab a trial copy of Spb's Tips & Tricks which includes this tweak.

thanks mtbsoft,

i already tried the trial version of Spb Tips and Tricks but I couldn't find it from the tweak section. I only found the "Change Date and Time format" in the today screen. What I want to do is to remove the date portion from the taskbar (upper right), as you can see in the image i attached previously. I want it to display just like the W2003 did, just the time, no date.

thanks robal,

Could you please give me the direct link to that "Tweaking BA registry" that you mentioned? I tried searching it but no luck. Thanks

Glad you got it working, though...

...you looked in the wrong area. User Interface | Change long date format is the one I presume your found (according to its description) but what you wanted was the System | Display date in titlebar option.
