date and time in start bar wm5 jj

[otimov]

reading many posts on how to enable date and time in the start bar, i found that performing a modification in the registry in this way:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftShell
Create a new binary value named “TBOpt” and set it to “13 00 00 00
you get dat and time in the start bar but part of the date is covered by the "OK" button ( or by "not ok" that is a x) so you can read for example
28/10/0
12:54

instead of
28/10/05
12:54
Is it possible to move slightly on the left the date/time icon ?
or is it possible to change the place of date/time icon with another icon (volume icon for ex.)?

Here's the directions from the wiki...

Set short date format to something other than the limited list provided under settings>regional

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides "SSDte"="d.M "

This gives 1-10 format with a space behind so that date is not cut off by OK button

Since I live in the US I set mine to "MMM d " to give me a date such as "Oct 28 "

HTH,
