I don't think that you can remove just the date, it's all or nothing. However, I think that you have you're taskbar sized so that is takes up more space on the bottom. If you resize it to just take up "one line" for lack of a better term, then the date and time will swtich back to only a time. Simply place the mouse cursor over the top of the taskbar, the the cursor will display a north-south directional arrow. Right click the mouse, and then drag the taskbar down. Hope that helps.
