    I've had another fiddle with this, and although the Time and Date Stamps agains the Files and Folders changes, it makes absolutely no difference to the Screen Readout!  R.

    Just asking, did you reboot after the change... only way the display will read the new form?

    Yep ........................... did that!  As I said before, the Dates [and Times] against the Folder and File listings change immediately to what I set them, but NOT the Time in the, top / right hand, corner of the screen!  R.

    Hmmm, maybe you've got a couple of corrupt preference files.

     

    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...

     

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist

     

    /Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.systemuiserver.plist

     

    /Users/<yourname>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.systemuiserver.xxx.plist

     

    where 'xxx' is a 12 digit (hexadecimal) numeric string.

     

    This will reset your Menu Bar to the default, you'll need to go through System Preferences to reset the ones you need. (If they are already checked, uncheck them first and then recheck them).

     

    reboot

    I'm not sure I'm prepared to try that, it all looks a bit ...................... heavy!  R.
