Just updated to XP

I just updated from ME to XP. I am having trouble with the taskbar display.
Instead of everything being in one nice row as before, the icons on the right
side next to the clock are now in two rows. Is there a way to adjust the
appearance of the taskbar? I would like everything to be in one row again.

Hi,

Right-click the taskbar. If "lock the taskbar" is checked, click it to
uncheck it. Then, same as with WinME, place the cursor at the top of the
taskbar to get the double-arrow, then left click and drag it down.

Thanks for the quick reply. "Lock the taskbar" is not checked and I can get
the taskbar to move up and down. Under the time, the day of the week is
showing (in this case Sunday). How can I change the display to show the time
only and not the day?
