For the clock up top:
the clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)

To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)

Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'

And the short date format:
Change the Short Date Format
Applications may call upon the system to provide a 'short date format'. One such application is the Date/Time display in the taskbar, if set to show the date. To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" (example):
HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd/d " (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note 1: For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ateformats.asp

Don't know the bottom one. Wish I did though It's gone in WM6...

Although Dave - I prefer the 6 tab. However, I can't change the number of tabs (want to remove the audio one) in the new vzw 3.3 image.
