Creating A Calendar In Vista

Posted Jul 3, 2007 | by Jason Faulkner  

If you are running Windows Vista and accustomed to using a wall or desk calendar to keep track of important dates, bump the traditional calendar in favor of the Windows Calendar. The Windows Calendar has everything you would expect from a calendar program such as recurring events, notifications, etc. Even better, you can subscribe to Internet calendars which use the ICS format.

To open the Windows Calendar:

  1. Click the Start Button.
  2. Type “calendar” in the Search box.
  3. Select Windows Calendar when it appears at the top.

If you are interested in created a “shared” family calendar, this Microsoft article explains exactly how to do it with color coding and everything.

This program really is a great addition to Windows Vista.

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...

    Can Windows Calendar and Windows Mail be linked to work together?

    Personally, I don’t like Vista’s calendar. Several times I have clicked to place the cursor in the event box to make a minor edit & lost all the wording in the box. If it’s a recurring event, that can be a BIG problem! Once it’s gone there seems to be no way to get it back. :(
