Thank you very much. Now I have to figure out how to make the quick menu

file available.

Okay, that's not so hard. It only took me two tries, which is a record
for me.

1) Open T-Clock Properties and select the Quicky Menus tab.
2) Double Click on a blank item entry.
3) Enter the appropriate data and (pay attention now!)
4) Under the "Save Changes to Custom Menu List Now?" click the OK button.
5) Only then click OK to close the window.

The item(s) will now display on the Quickys menu along with the defaults.

If your taskbar is at the default height (1 row) I think it is hidden. I
have my taskbar at a height of 3 (meaning it can show 3 rows of running
applications) and it shows...

4:35 PM

10/22/2010

(at least as of this writing. Numbers will be different in a minute...)

I have same OS and have time and date above one another with only 1
line of icons.

This was my deault as I don't remember changing it

Does that work the same on WinXP? I had a friend ask me that question
yesterday.

Using W7 home premium 64 bit.
My taskbar shows the computer time on the right end. Is there way to
make the date appear in the taskbar along with the time? I would prefer
to not use a desktop gadget for this.
Thanks.

I too have Home Premium 64-bit, and was pleased to see the date and
time are both shown.

I googled for
"system tray" date "windows 7"
(quotes as shown), and the very first hit said "By default the
Windows 7 taskbar uses large icons, which makes for a bigger taskbar.
This easily allows not only the time to show in the system tray, but
the date as well."

Sure enough, when I right-clicked the Taskbar and selected
Properties, then checked "use small icons", the date went away. When
I unchecked that box, the date came back.

Unlocked it and was able to do it.

Any other way to make the date show on the taskbar? perhaps with an add-on?

Uncheck "use small icons" in Taskbar properties.

I discovered I could not see the date because I was using small icons
when it was at the bottom. Large icons are really too huge.

This depends on screen resolution. I have "use small icons" unset,
and the Taskbar is about the size it was on my old XP system. The
current screen is 900 pixels high, and the old one was 768.

On my XP Pro SP3, if the taskbar is a one row high, I get the time.

11:09 PM

If it's two rows high, I get the time and the day.

11:09 PM
Saturday

If it's at least 3 rows high, I get the time, day, and date.

Or you can have your cake and eat it too: that is have small icons and
both date and time by using Stoic joker's T-clock which now works on W7
64 bit as I discovered.

Did you get my tip on setting up the Quicky Menu?
