Yeppers... I been wearin out the Google and Bing search engines for months... It was very helpful for finding appointment and past events entered in the calendar... I had my Vista Calendar for almost 3 years and could find stuff all the way back to the first entries... Man I miss that..... But at least we have the calendar/reminders back... And we don't have to open Live Mail to get it...
@poppa bear
Is it possible to "integrate" Windows Calendar in Windows Live Mail 2011 (which has the most stupid reminder-by-online-autoemail-only system)? Or at least a shortcut from within WLM...
Thanks Poppa Bear, I have just spent most of my afternoon installing the Vista WinMail on my ThinkPad under Win7. So for it looks successful. My next project was to move the Vista Calendar using your great tutorial, but I have run up against, what I think is a problem. The download link for WinCalEdit.zip gives me a surprise when it extracts. see attached clip.
I think something is broken? Please advise.
Regards.
Unfortunately I don't know what's happening there. I've just used the link from Page 1, Step 6, of the tutorial to donwload WinCalEdit.zip, and it saved OK to my desktop as a Winzip file. Or I could have saved it to "My Documents" or some other folder.
Once the file is downloaded the registry edit file must be extracted from the Winzip file and saved to your desktop; and singled clicked to run it. Then click "yes" in response to the prompts.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. PB
Poppa Bear,
I did resolve my issue regarding unzipping WinCalEdit.zip that I had yesterday. I did not have the file folder defaults set to show file extensions, so got confused at what I was seeing. All is well now. I must thank you for your SUPURB skill at researching & writing all your tutorials, I only wish I had similar skills at READING them...lol. Win some, loose some I guess.
Now I need to find out why, when I delete the desktop icon for WinMail, I loose the same from the start menu list also....why? I likely missed something while reading and executing the steps. I will re read your initial Tutorial and see if I can figure that one out. Otherwise I am fat dumb & happy with what I have accomplished....thanks to you!
I really like my Win 7 a whole lot more with the Vista WinMail that I have gotten used to over the years. For me, it is way simpler than the win7 alternatives.
Cheers:)
Still looking for a solution to the missing search box in win cal after installing in Win 7.... Anyone got a clue?
I was able to install the calendar from my Vista into my new computer (Windows 7). However, there is no Search box included and there was one in Vista. Does anyone know how to get the Search box back into the calendar? Thanks!
Hi everybody,
I import my vista calendar into windows 7 and the procedure works very fine.
The only problem I have, it's that I do not receive a confirmation windows when I suppress an appointment. Is it possible to active this message like it was working on windows Vista?
Thank you very much to help me!
