Run Windows Calendar in System Tray

Hi,

Is there a way to run an application in the System Tray if it is not
designed for that initially?

I want the Windows Calendar to be running in the system tray.

I have Vista on my laptop and I put it to sleep rather than shut down or
logoff. I have stuff in my Windows Calendar as reminders. I have set the
scheduled task options to wake up the computer at such an event but that
doesn't work. If Calendar is open or running it will popup a message. I want
to use my Calendar a lot more but don't want it running in the regular tray
all the time.

I added a reg key to auto start calendar at logon but it is just running it
regularly.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run



Thanks
Lara
 
Hi Lara,

No, the application would need to be designed to run from the system tray.
For reminders, it would need to continually run a small background process
that checks for the reminders if the full application is not running. Again,
the program would need to be written with that in mind.

Windows Live Mail Desktop has a Calendar function and minimizes to the Notification Area
of the Taskbar.
 
Hi,

I am new to Vista. What is Windows Live Mail Desktop? Is it a 3rd party or
online software, part of Vista or a paid/free add-on?

Thanks
