Vista - Need to display the day, date and time permanently on taskbar

Umm.. Good question Steve. I'm not sure what you mean by 'system font'. On
the desktop I use Verdana 9. I guess you mean the taskbar font size. I don't
know where that is defined but it looks the same size as the icon names on
the desktop.

That's makes it Really strange.
What screen resolution are you using?
Mine is set for 1024x768, 32 bit color.
I thought it might be the size of the "Start menu" icons (Use large
not ticked), but no joy.

Task bar is 2 high
Quick start,Tool tray is 3 icons and 3 lines high
The start Ball is full height.
Hide inactive is OFF
Autohide is OFF
Keep on top is ON
Group Similar is ON
I have Clock,Volume,Network,Power SHOWING.

Resolution is 1280 x 1024. Quick start and taskbar are 1 line high.
Hide inactive & Group similar OFF. Keep on top ON
Clock, AV, Network & Toddler keys showing. Colin
