CHANGE START BAR DATE FORMAT

[stainlesspc]

How does one change the format for the date.
I did the Reg tweek so I have the time and date in the start bar.
But I would like to get rid of the year on the date.

Ideas ?

Thanks

I tried it but did not work for me.

I have my start bar showing 7/25/0 and the time 3:27 below it.
I want to get rid of the /0

Use your reg editor and goto HKLM\nls\overrides\ and make a string with the name SSDte with a value of M/d and that should do it.

that great,

Now how can I remove the week day "Saturday" and have date and time in one line?


Or is there a way to have the TIME at all time on the top bar next to the SIGNAL?

From the way I understand it, it's built in the Windows Mobile rom how it's displayed as far as on the bar, ie: date on top of time if you have that enabled. But, if you want the date and time both on the taskbar up top, you need an AKU 2.2 rom minimum with two registry entries. One is the SSDte string with a value of M/d/yy with three spaces for some comfort room alongside to account for the close button, and STFmt string with a value of h:mm t for the time. You can go as far as I did and add the am pm reg entries as well so you know exactly that your clock is at least in the ball park time wise or use military time. To do that: In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides create a string S1159 with a value of Am and another string S2359 with a value of Pm and change the string STFmt to a value of h:mm tM

there are some setting in Setting > Regional Settings.
Just in case you don't want to use regedit!

Correct, but you can only choose them, not change them. You have to use a registry editor if you want to change the format of the date and time.
