MS Office Forum / Outlook / Calendaring / February 2006Displaying outlook monthly calendar as/on my desktop?
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 -Gaiko 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.

I am using outlook 2003 sp2 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. ---------------- <html> <body> <object ID="Calendar" CLASSID="CLSID:0006F063-0000-0000-C000-000000000046" style="width:100%;height:100%"> <param NAME="Folder" VALUE="Calendar"> <param NAME="Namespace" VALUE="MAPI"> <param NAME="Restriction" VALUE> <param NAME="DeferUpdate" VALUE="0"> </object> </body> </html> ------------------------- SignatureGood Luck, Keith Microsoft MVP [Windows XP Shell/User] > oops, i guess that might have been helpful.

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

I am using outlook 2003 sp2 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.
