Fortunately there is a tweak to display both the date and time instead of time only in the Pocket PC title bar :

Browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
Save any unsaved document and reset your Pocket PC.

Does anyone know how to make this work on the q?
I wish. That's always one of the first hacks I make on a Pocket PC.

By the way, I believe that hack is a bit over-complicated -- as I discovered in 2001 or so. The value is just a set of bit flags, so a DWord of 3 should be sufficient.
  • 0 = no display
  • 1 = time
  • 2 = date
  • 3 = date & time
