- Displaying outlook monthly calendar as/on my desktop?
- Posted by gaikokujinkyofusho@gmail.com on February 14th, 2006
Is there a way I can have outlook's monthly view show up as my desktop?
It seems to me that this is possible but for the life of me i can't
figure out how.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

Bring up the calendar. Do an alt | prtscn of the calendar. Open Paint.
Do an Edit | Paste. Then save as a .jpg. into your "My Pictures" folder.
Then you can use the photo as a desktop wallpaper.

Thanks for the suggestion, i guess i should have been more specific. I
was looking for a more interactive option, where i could click on the
days modify the schedule etc.
Thanks

Copy the following to notepad (watch for wordwrap, each <> grouping is one line) and save as a .html
file. Double-click the file to verify it functions in IE. If all is good, you can use the file as
your desktop or an Active Desktop Web item. I would recommend the latter -- if you make the
calendar your background, all your right-click options are for the calendar, you'll lose your
desktop options.

That is cool, cool, cool.
Question: is there a way to change your HTML code such that it would display
today and the taskpad, as opposed to the month?
Thanks

Not that I know of. On startup, it will display whatever calendar view was last used in Outlook.
But you can right-click the desktop calendar and use "Go to This Day". Use "Go to Date..." to
change to week or month view.
