I managed to remove the clock/date display from my system tray.
How do I get it back?
I think I removed it by right-clicking on it and then deselecting some options, but no amount of right-clicking gives me any option to bring it back.

I have stopped depending on that tray icon.
The RemoveDrive tool is very good and
manages to Safely Remove the removable drives many times after that icon declares failure.
Suggest reading up the notes on the RemoveDrive page
(and several other pages from the same place)
to build your confidence on that tool.
Then, use it if you like it.
I typically keep a shortcut as shown here on the desktop as an immediate fall-back.
C:\some\path\RemoveDrive.exe U:\ -i -b
You can do that from the command line if your drive letter keeps changing.
The only way I can think of is to change the date format.
- Open Control Panel->Clock, Language, Region->Change the date, time, or number format->Additional Settings...->Date tab
- Prepend dddd to the Short date: format
You'll then see the day name in the tray clock.
Of course, this will change the short date format throughout the OS, which may or may not be a problem for you.
