Dear all,

Always wanted to do this but was too lazy :sleep:. Did some reverse engineering :sneaky: and found how to tweak the registry to include the AM/PM notation for the time at the top taskbar to compliment the date/time tweak above.

As with all registry tweaks, PLEASE backup before trying.

How to include the AM/PM notation on the top taskbar:
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = h:mm tM
6) Soft-reset.

Hope this is useful :smile:.

Hi Aficionado,

Trying 1st time to download PHM ('cause it is freeware), after loaded successfully into mini, there were so many files in My Document, until I so blurred but to delete it. Care to provide a link to me to load? I found one but don't know whether is it appropriate for my mini

Appreciate for your help. Thank you very much.

Hey gurus! :grin:

I love this hack!

Only thing is - it look a little off balance, with the date so long and time so short - and they are not aligned centre...

Anyway to change the date format from dd/mm/yyyy to just dd/mm?

:grin:

Ok... found the answers to my own question.... :grin:

In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides key, create STRING value SSDte , value set to format you like e.g. dd/MM

The display looks more class now....

Dear all,

Just discovered my TBOpt value had been changed (prob by a tweaking program and prob for a long time already too), which appears simpler. Therefore, the following might be an easier and quicker tweak to do instead of the old method:
1) Open a registry editor (e.g. PHM or Resco).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
3) Create a DWord value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "3".
4) Soft-reset.

great.. even some1 like to who have nv tried to edit registry can do this.. now i can remove the date item in today already..
thanks bro aficionado!

Bro inflames85,

No prob :wink:.

I always found the Date Item in Today a great waste of space too and got rid of it too so that I can have other more useful Today items :happy:.

Bro Jordan,

Oops, sorry for the late reply but just saw this thread :blush:.

Glad u found answers. What u had effectively done was to include this date format into your system as a standard time format = though should u need to change = u don't have to tweak your registry again. Simply:
1) Go to Start>Settings>System>Regional Settings>Date
2) Under 'Short Date', select the other types (looks initially like there are only 2 options, but u can find a few more by scrolling).
3) Tap 'ok'.
Note:
- Should u need your 'dd/MM' format back again, u'll have to tweak your registry again though.

One other important thing to note is that some date and time applications may not recognise this new date format = some of their features may not display properly.

i think the M in item 5 must be enclosed in ', like this:

5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = h:mm t'M'
