Today screen - day/date changed to 2 lines

This is strange...

On the today screen, right under the start button, there is a line that lists the date. If I remember correctly, it used to display the Day and Date in a single line as in the example below:

Friday, November 28, 2008

I was playing around with SK tools and did registry cleaning and maybe some other things and now it's listed in 2 lines instead of 1, example below:

Friday
November 28, 2008

Does anyone have any idea how to get it back to a single line format? I have no idea if playing around with SK tools is what caused the issue but it's the last thing I remember doing before I noticed the change.

Thanks!

i think there's a reg edit for that. chances are sk tools changed something.

Yes, that's what I thought. Would you happen to know what the regedit is?

Thanks.

i found it. i searched " single line date today" and its in a list of reg edits. but i cant seem to copy the link with opera. but that search should turn it up no problem

Cool!

I found it. For anyone else that's curious about this, here's the registry setting that needs changed.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today

AutoSingleLineDatePlugin

DWORD should have a decimal value of "1" for a 1 line date. If it's a "0" then it shows up as 2 line.

Thanks for the help!

Yes, I used the registry editor in Resco Explorer to make the change. I then did a soft reset (with an app instead of pulling the battery) and it worked fine.

No need to take the battery out. Just stick your stylus into the hold under the micro sd card and that will soft-reset.

A registry editor is used simply for that, editing the registry. Which when you edit the correct values will change something. Some programs you have to use the registry to change settings i.e. s2p or s2u2. Some registry changes will help the performance of your phone. If you do a search you will find many lists of regedits that do this or that...

i can cee that(no typo, it means to understand), but is it like a similar pattern, or sequence these original registry files follow??? cuz i noticed that they start with H\sumthinKTL?? i think or watever, u know what im talkin bout, right? If thats da case, how do i or what do i actually change to accomplish the registry change and execution of code to make, what i pretty much want to do with these types of fones???
