You can display your Microsoft Outlook calendar right on your computer's desktop, along with a full week's worth of tasks. As long as you have Microsoft Outlook 2000 or a more recent version, and an Active Desktop Calendar version 5.6 or later, you won't have to download any additional programs. You will have to start Microsoft Outlook whenever you power on your computer in order to keep your desktop calendar display updated.
