My clock in the taskbar is showing just the time and day name. How can I customize it to show the date as well?
I am using Windows XP Professional.

The XP clock in classic mode does not support showing the date. There are 3rd party applications that can accomplish this though, such as TClock.exe. Another alternative is AlfaClock which has a lot of other functionality as well. This works without having to make your taskbar span multiple rows, making it useful even for windows configurations which support showing the date. |

I found the reason, I was using the windows classic style not the windows xp style in the appearance. When i changed back to xp style, the date is showing beside the time and day name. |

Have you used a program to change or modify your taskbar (a Windows themes app for example)? Try stretching the taskbar up to about 3x the normal height - is it still just time and day? |

TClock gives you this ability. As for the wrapping in the image below, I'm assuming that is caused by the width of the systray. Expanding that would likely put the date/time on one line.
