Window calendar from Vista

reevesjo · 18 Feb 2011

I liked Windows Calendar on my old Vista PC. My new PC has WIN7 which omitted the calendar. I imported the Vista Windows Calendar to the WIN7 machine and can access it from the taskbar. I would like for it to open at bootup so I don't have to remember to open it each time manually (you will get old and forgetful sometime). I have tried a few things, "unsuccessfuly". I posted on the Customize forum but got no good answers. Any help here?? Thanks, Joe

This,

Task - Create to Run a Program at Startup and Log On

or method 2 here possibly,

Startup Programs - Change

Hi Joe,

Copy the folder Windows Calendar from Program Files in Windows Vista and paste it in the same location in Windows 7 (you will need to provide administrative credentials). Next, open the folder and right-click on the executable and select Create shortcut. Right-click on the newly created shortcut and click Cut. Browse to the following folder, right-click in it and click Paste.

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

If you can't see that folder, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives and deselect Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) with reference to Folder Options - Open

Thanks again Dwarf. I had tried other solutions must more complicated than yours several times without success. Your "simple" solution worked the first time.
