Windows 7: Date/Time

Best I can get it to display...

Perhaps try without the Sunday in Long date field? MMMM dd, yyyy

No effect :-(

After you give up on Windows doing what you want, you can install T-Clock.

Yeah? Is that why you use Windows??

Have you tried clearing the long date all together? I can't replicate as my theme shows only time when taskbar is on the left. A Guy

Can't. As soon as you press ""Apply", it populates it automatically.

Ahhh, I was looking towards the field that had the full word Sunday in it as the cause. You are using a windows aero theme? A Guy

Correct

I use Windows because it does what I want most of the time. When it does not, I either live with it or find/write software that makes Windows do what I want.

In your first screenshot in your OP, I was so focused on the format of the screens in the middle that I did not notice the task bar on the side. After I posted and after I noticed that the task bar was on the side, I moved the taskbar to be like yours (in a Virtual Machine) and installed the tiny app named T-Clock 2010. It seems to do what you want done... so I made my second post to your thread.

I'll lurk and see if you find a combination that does...
time
ddd, mmm, dd, yyyy
...on two lines using W7's native applets.

Or maybe I still don't understand what you want done.
