Help with - How to show your name in taskbar

[carl606]

Hello again.

I have just tryed this artical , and i carn't get this to work either

Show Your Name In Windows Vista Taskbar

I followed the instructions, restarted the computer and nothing
I tryed this several times, no luck.

So having tryed the two articals and not getting anywhere, i must be doing something wrong, can anyone help.

Windows vista home premium, 32 bit

Make sure that the format you are using has "tt" in it.

That is: Time Format = tt hh:mm:ss

Did you set the clock to 12hr setting instead of 24hr as if my memory serves me correct thats where I kept going wrong.

Great thankyou for that i did not know that, as it did not mention that in the artical.......

Double great, again i did not know this, thankyou very much.

Surly these things must be pointed out in the artical for people to know.
If they had been i would have saved myself alot of time, with messing around trying to get it to work.

Going of this subject, my other post "how to change the size of thumbnails in windows vista's taskbar" have they left little points out of this as well.

I done a search on this and on this particular website it tells you to select
Hexadecimal, not decimal as is pointed out on the windows club artical.

I selected decimal and could not get this to work, though i have not tryed with hexadecimal yet just in case its wrong

Hello.
I just found this (interesting)

http://forum.thewindowsclub.com/wind...nail-size.html...> A jonny.rotten post

I think jonny.rotten had the same problem as me.
I seen exactly the same registry tweak somewhere i have been try to find it again, with no luck.
That doe's tell you to select HEXADECIMAL not decimal , but i was waiting for some advice on this.

I have just found this link that tells you to use HEXADECIMAL

If this tweak doe's not work, has anyone found a way that doe's

windows vista home premium. 32 bit

@Carl606. I have just done this, without any problems following the exact instructions. So give it another try

Sorry seti, i have tryed this 3 times again, even using hexadecimal with no luck, here's a quick snapshot, i also tryed it with different values




So i don't know what else to try, if this doe's work on home premium 32 bit then there must be something i am not doing right, but the instructions could not be simpler

Aero is enabled, enable transparency is unchecked, and the min/max window animation in aero is disabled.

HELP ! maybe the snapshot might tell you something

Carl all I did was do exactly what Andy said on show your name on the task bar. You have to drag down to get the tt and put your name in the Am and PM boxes, then click OK to apply. I've had my PC off and it is there now after the restart. So I do not know what you are doing wrong, as it seems so simple to do really. Start- Control Panel - Regional Settings- Cutomise this format-time and then the above.

Sorry seti, this is my fault, i have already done this and it works fine as
HappyAndyK & johnny.rotton had pointed out, but i went of the subject
And started talking about my other post, which was unrelated to this one
Which i had thought you had picked up on.

So my apolagies for this, but maybe if you could have a look at my other post
As its one of the tweaks in the windows club artical, that has simple instructions, but i cannot get this to work.

I am sure other people have tryed this tweak out, and may they could have the answer, because the same tweak is on various other websites
