Hi, There is no workaround to display the Long Date in taskbar without modifying the Short Date parameter.Ivan-Liu TechNet Community Support

Hello. I'd like to see Long Date and Long Time in my System Tray instead of Short Date and Short Time. But due to some restrictions connected with my work I can not modify Short Date & Short Time to look how I want them to look in System Tray. So basically I need Windows to show what is set as Long Date & Long Time in System Tray instead of showing Short ones. Is it possible? Maybe some registry tweaks?

If you are in a corprate envronment with a network and a network adminstrator who sets group policies, then you most likely do not have the capability to make chnages to the registry. This is a problem you MUST discuss with your System Administrator!Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

Even if I wouldn't be able to do it (which I doubt), I would like to know if there's a solution to my problem with specified restrictions. Let's pretend that I want to do it at home, and still I don't want to change my Short Date Format, but see Long Date in System Tray.

Then you go into the control Panel, you open Date and Time settings, you click on Change Calendar Settings, in the Date tab under the Date Formats you copy the Long date string and then paste that string into the Short date.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

I need a workaround, so that Short Date stays the same, but in task bar Windows shows me Long Date instead.

If you drag the task bar up to double-height, is that more like you want? SC Tom
