removing date and day of week from systray?!

I have my taskbar on the left hand side of the screen, 5 quicklaunch icons wide.
This way I can always see the titles of all the programs I have open, even if it
is 10 netscape windows etc.
But my problem is XP now shows the clock, day of week and date in the systray. It
takes up really much room, this was never an issue in win2k. I put up at pic(5kb)
for you to see what I mean. I just want the clock!! And nicely tucked away with
the other icons. I tried downloading a few shareware systray clocks, but none of
them work very well...
If I have the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, one row thick it shows the clock
properly, two rows it shows the clock + day of week, and three rows it it also shows
the date.... just want the clock.
Please help me!

Go to cvontrol Panel>Task Bar and Start Menu>uncheck the show clock, that will do
the trick, good luck.

I don't think that you can remove just the date, it's all or nothing.
However, I think that you have you're taskbar sized so that is takes up more space
on the bottom.
If you resize it to just take up "one line" for lack of a better term, then the date
and time will swtich back to only a time. Simply place the mouse cursor over the
top of the taskbar, the the cursor will display a north-south directional arrow.
Right click the mouse, and then drag the taskbar down.
Hope that helps.
