From: bof on 12 Mar 2010 09:22 I recently booted my XP Pro machine and there appears to have been a corruption somewhere as the appearance of the desktop had changed, colours, fonts, etc.. I've got most of it back to how it was but can't find a way to get the taskbar clock back to its original format. It now displays: 14:19 Friday when it used to display: 14:19 12 March 2010 Anyone advise where the taskbar clock format can be configured? Many thanks -- bof at bof dot me dot uk

From: Craig S on 12 Mar 2010 10:59 (I'm XP)....I Googled "Taskbar Clock Format". ----Look at Control panel/ Regional and Language Options/ Regional Options Tab--Customize and see if you can't fix everything.

Thanks for the reply, the short date format here is set to "dd MMMM yyyy" and the long date is set to "dd MMMM yyyy" yet the desk top clock shows "Friday" In message <#bSjmhfwKHA.4532(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl>, Bob I <birelan(a)yahoo.com> writes >Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Regional Options tab, >Customize button > >bof wrote: >> I recently booted my XP Pro machine and there appears to have been >>a corruption somewhere as the appearance of the desktop had changed, >>colours, fonts, etc..
