By default the Windows 7 task bar uses large icons, which makes for a bigger task bar. This easily allows not only the time to show in the system tray, but the date as well. You can customize how the date is displayed and what information it will show.
1. Go to the Control Panel.2. Select Clock, Language, and Region.
3. Select Region and Language.
4. Click the Additional settings button.
5. Select the Date tab.
6. Go to the Date formats section. Use the Short date drop down to select the desired display. Click the Apply button to view the results.
If you don’t see what you want, you can add your own by placing your cursor on the drop down and typing.
You will need to keep these notations in mind:
d, dd are for displaying the date
ddd, dddd are for displaying the day of the week
M, MM, MMM, MMMM are for displaying the month
yy, yyyy are for displaying the year.
By using these notations and separators such as hyphens, commas, periods, etc. you can customize your date to display in a number of ways.
For example:
ddd MM/dd/yywill make your date look like this:
