Why do we still need a desktop version of calendar? It was removed for a reason.
Is there a way to get the Search feature back which was available on the original? I reloaded from this site, but it isn’t there. Thanks.
Thanks. I have followed the above steps and managed to install Windows Calendar. I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to recover the agenda entries from Vista? If so, where is the calendar data stored?
2. I used Windows Calendar to synchronise calendar entries from my mobile, using Nokia Suite. Nokia Suite does not recognize Windows Calendar once installed as described above. Are other steps necessary to make this possible?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Paul
As to why we still need a desktop calendar – some of us travel and do not always have access to the internet. A good desktop calendar is essential for us.
Great post!!!
Thanks a lot to you and scritperkid2!!!
@Kent,
1. I want my calendar on my own computer, not on Google’s or Microsoft’s computers. This is so I can access my calendar whether I have my computer out in the mountains or at home.
2. I dual boot Windows and Linux. I want my Linux calendar program to access the same file as my Windows calendar program, so that I can set and retrieve appointments and tasks no matter which system I am using. (I have an NTFS data partition set up for just this purpose–it allows all of my data to be accessible from both Windows and Linux.)
