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.

I run a "Virtual Desktop" program on my system: dexpot.de/index.php?lang=en'
It has options for minimizing to the tray, and works fine here with WinCal, WinMail & any other program I've tried.

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 Lara
