Can the day, weekday be shown on the clock

Normal taskbar display for the clock is just time.
I have expanded the taskbar to 2 lines (which is gaudy) and it now shows
the date, day, and time all in 3 rows.
I sure would like to get at least time and date or time and date.
Anyone know of a solution? Ideally it would be nice to expand the width
not the height.

TClockEx (do a Google for latest version) is a great clock applet (free)
that I have used for years with Win'98 Win2K & WinXP.

Hover your mouse over the bar and once it goes to double arrow drag the bar
up as Big Al says it looks gaudy, I use TClock like SoCalCommie suggested

Just grab the top of the task bar and drag it upwards. If you have
about 5 or 6 programs open they spread out on two rows, also the clock
now has more room to properly display. I say properly display, as I
think this is what Microsoft intended but hell, how many users use this,
its ugly.

Fair Enough.

Thanks.

But you have to unlock the taskbar first.

You're right, but then I do that on day one when I load XP. Never
think about it again. Oops!

Simple, first you must make sure that your taskbar is not locked, do
this by right clicking on a blank area of the taskbar. When the pop-up
menu appears look towards the bottom for the line Lock The Taskbar, if
there is a check mark beside it your taskbar is locked. Clicking on
that line of text will toggle the lock on or off. When you unlock the
taskbar, it will have a slightly different appearance from it's locked
state. Then hover the pointer at the top until it changes to a double
arrow, then click the left mouse button and make it as big as you want it.
 
Download.com played a fast one on you and gave
you version 1.99. Version 1.90 is the only
unrestricted free version. I searched for 1.90, and
after an hour I found only one download link. All
others linked to 1.99. This one is confirmed, by me,
to be 1.90. I don't know when this started because
version 1.90 was widely available about a year ago.
I strongly suggest you save a copy to CD, as this
best copy is quickly disappearing.

Thanks. I've got it and will try later today.
 
I hope you got the right one this time. I verified its
MD5 hash:

91AE8286A72D43123941BE360832A636

against a copy that I saved long ago. If somehow
you didn't, I could upload it somewhere. I wonder,
could I attach it to a Newsgroup message?
Should I? I don't think so...

I got the right one. It even seems to run :-)
Thanks. It will go on the thumb drive with all other utils. I've got
4 gigs of them that I trust and use from time to time. Thanks again.
