    If I include a day of week in long and short formats, and have my taskbar heightened to three rows, the day of week displays twice like so:

    12:20pm
    Wednesday
    Wednesday, 1/20/2010

    Here are my short format settings:
    dddd, M/d/yyyy

    Here are my long format settings:
    dddd, M/d/yyyy

    I have the both the same due to my email program needing them that way to display the day of week for all messages.

    My question is where does the middle day of week (Wednesday, as seen above under 12:20pm) come from?

    Nello Nezi, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Set your "Short date" to M/d/yyyy to see if that helps instead. :)

    That will fix the windows double day display issue but will throw off my thunderbird date format. Do you know where to change the 'middle' day of the week displayed in the windows date and time? See attached image.

    Nezi,

    Other than shrinking the height of the taskbar back down until the middle day is no longer displayed, I'm not sure how you can.

    Thanks for that, my machine decided that it would rather use the US time date format, which was annoying

    thanks for the quick fix
