I had used the old MS Works 4.5 which came with my 6 year old computer. It
works great, but I need to move away from that. I'd like one that you can
set up a reminder even a year, two years away; also one that will be able to
remind you beginning several days in advance.

Some suggestions?

Free Reminder Software
======================
Remind-Me-Please is a freeware reminder program which will give you
advance warning of upcoming events, appointments, TV programs, movies,
birthdays and so on. Enter one-off or repeating events: daily, weekly,
monthly, yearly and specials like 'Every two weeks from 1/1/2002' or
'Third Sunday of each month'.

I use this program to remind me about bills. I've got it set up so my
phone bill repeats every 2 months and gives me 7 days of warnings before
it falls due. Same with utility bills, car registration, insurance, etc,
etc.. Once it's set up properly it'll give you a splash screen listing
all upcoming events whenever you reboot your computer, followed by a
splash screen for items due NOW.

As an added bonus, this program will also run in a networked
environment. You can allocate a username to each machine and point each
one to a central shared database. Anyone can then enter 'SHARED' events
(e.g. Family outings, company meetings) which will show up on everyone
else's screen. Private reminders will only show on the PC which they
were entered on. I know you can do some of this stuff on Outlook, but my
program isn't a resource hog.

Remind me please will run in the System tray, and optionally plays a WAV
file when events occur.

"UK's Kalendar" is a MS Windows program intended to remind you of
upcoming events and todos. There are several views for your dates that
are organized similar to a calendar sheet. Dates and appointments can be
entered into the calendar via an input form. You can enter a forewarn
time, so as long as "UK's Kalendar" is running in the background you'll
be reminded of your dates as soon as the forewarn time is reached.

Independent from the calendar function there is also a todo list where
you can enter tasks with a deadline and a forewarn time. If the forewarn
time is reached, "UK's Kalendar" will inform you of the due tasks with
symbols and colors.

The program was tested under the MS Windows versions 98SE and 2000.

Reminder is a program designed to allow you to enter events in the
program and on the dates you choose, a message will pop up and remind
you of them.

Reminder is a simple, easy to use program, some of the programs similar
to this one are so complicated that no one will use them. This is not
the case with Reminder.

When you start the program, a small icon will appear in the System Tray
next to the clock and also on your Desktop. The Desktop Icon can be
moved anywhere you wish or you can remove it entirely. Right click the
icon to access the program Menu or double click to start the main
program.

There are now four types of Reminder to choose from:
- Reminder, the most flexible, allows you to choose the Date and Time of
your Reminders and also an Interval between Reminders.
- Weekly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day of the
week instead of a particular date, you use the Weekly Reminder
function.
- Daily Reminder, When you wish to be reminded every day instead of a
particular date, you use the Daily Reminder function.
- Monthly Reminder, When you wish to be reminded on a certain day of the
Month instead of a particular date, you use the Monthly Reminder
function.

Don't overlook the various Mozilla options.

There is a calendar extension for Mozz, Thunderbird, or Firefox -
although tht would require one of them to be open all the time. But if
you check the mozilla.org site, you can find an early, although very
stable version of Sunbird. It mimics the calendar extensions, but is
it's own stand-alone program. It does all the scheduling and appointment
reminders, including repeating at various periods. You can also set
advance reminders for anywhere from minutes to hours to days ahead of
time. There is an option to allow you to view it as a monthly calendar
or a daily or weekly. It's kind of like the calendar part of Outlook
without the memory hogging.

Agreed. This is similar to Karen's Countdown Time, but much better.

Also the FolderSize Program is excellent too.
