Displaying prompt

[ArbolOne]

I have edited and created the "Prompt key" in the registry to look

like this:



'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager

\Environment\Prompt'



the Prompt value is 'prompt $t $d$_$p$g'



When I run cmd I get the value that 'prompt $t $d$_$p$g' is supposed

to display, but also the user's path. I don't want this current path

to be displayed, all I want is the time and date to be displayed. What

needs to be done? what am I missing?



Thanks in advance

At the command prompt enter



PROMPT /?
