How to Set Your Google Calendar As Your Desktop Background

If you are one of those people that are very busy and always trying to be more efficient with your time, you are probably using one of the popular appointment and event management software programs, such as Google Calendar. You can get rid of a boring, static desktop background and instead have your Google Calendar visible all the time by setting it as your desktop wallpaper. Your desktop calendar will update just as your real Google Calendar does.

Instructions

1. Go to "Calendar Settings" for the Google Calendar that you wish to use as a desktop background.

2. Choose "HTML" from the "Calendar Address" section of the settings. When the URL is displayed, use your mouse to highlight it, and right click to copy it. Minimize this window and go to the computer desktop.

3. Click on the "Start" button and select "Control Panel." Click on the "Display" icon and then select "Desktop."

4. Click on "Customize desktop," click on the tab labeled "Web" and then click "New."

5. Right click to paste in the URL for your Google Calendar. Click "Save" and close the window. You now have the calendar as your desktop background.
