How do I put the date under the time in the taskbar. I had to redo my
computer and it was put on that way previously. I have the time in the
bottom right corner but how do I get the date in there as well.

If you increase the size of taskbar in Windows XP, you'll find that it also
displays the date

Two ways:

1. Either increase the size of the taskbar to two or more lines, or

2. Use a third-party program, such as tclock.
 
Thanks it worked. Will it only display the date in number form? Could it be
in written form? eg January instead of 1

It will use whatever date form you have set up in Control Panel> Regional
and Language Options> Regional Options> Long Date. If you have numbers set
here, it will show numbers. Use the Customize button to change it.

I have "dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy" selected and get the time on line 1, day on
line 2 and (example) January 10, 2006 on the third line. If you select
"MMMM dd, yyyy" it would keep to two lines and show date (January 10, 2006)
only - no name of day listed.
