Can they at least let me make it smaller? I did the workaround with the registry setting, but it cuts off some of the time and date.

My complaint is almost the opposite. I don't want to see the time and date at all. No way to disable it in Windows 11 (found some open source utility to do this, but it was quite clunky). Really strange decisions by Microsoft.

There is also Ctrl+Esc for people like me having a keyboard that was made before the first Windows was released :-)

A fellow IBM Model M user? :)

A Codegen keyboard with Futaba clicky switches. These switches are the best, they use plate springs, but to me they feel closer to IBM's beam springs from the 70's than the buckling springs in Model F and M from the 80's do, which were used to cut down on the bulk and cost. If you ask me Futaba did it better.

Highly recommend ExplorerPatcher: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher

Allows you to move taskbar to side or top of screen, as well as retoring a number of other Windows 10 features (e.g. old-style context menus):

I've been trying to get my hands on a beamspring for years (at a non-ridiculous price); I'll have to look into the Futaba switches. Thanks!
