I want to move my Windows Calendar data file
([Username]'s Calendar.ics)
to my User directory where I can keep an eye on it and back it up, en masse,
with some still unkonwn and presumably third-party backup app that allows
for backing up by folder.
But Windows Calendar insists on keeping its data file in:
C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Calendar\Calendars
When I delete that data file, WC re-creates an empty one in that same
location.
When I move that data file to my User folder, then import it back into an
empty WC, WC imports the data to a newly created .ics file in that same
location.
I couldn't find any registry data to manipulate.
But while searching the Web for hints or tweaks, I came across Microsoft's
own TechNet Web site
(http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista/security/uacppr.mspx)
which included this info:

User Account Control Overview
With Windows Vista, application developers need to decide which of the two
levels of privilege their application needs to complete specific procedures.
If an application doesn't need administrative privileges for a task, then it
should be written to require only standard user mode privileges. For
example, a standard user mode-compliant application should only write data
files to a non-system location, such as the user profile, as opposed to the
program files directory tree.
<end quote>
Most important to me is how I can get my .ics file to reside in my User
folder and stay there once WC has "gotten ahold" of it.
Of secondary interest to me is whether WC complies with MS's own
requirements regarding writing data in non-system locations.
I posted in the Mail NG but got no takers.
Thanks,
Brian
