I just noticed that I check my calendar frequently during the day. I am sick of double-clicking the time to bring up my calendar.
I would like a calendar that is embedded on my desktop. I know webshots does this, but every system I have ever seen with webshots on it was either bogged down or had system problems.
I don't trust the calendars I am finding on google because I am scared of the webshpots effect. Can anyone reccommend a desktop calendar you are using?
It doesn't need to be fancy--just free. Thanks!
Maybe I can use a widget?

I always use my Outlook calendar because I can access it from my home computer as well, but that requires at least as much clicking around.

Nope, it is a pc with XP professional on it. I was thinking of using Yahoo's widget engine, but I think I would rather use a small program that someone I trust has had luck with.

I never even see my desktop -- I always have so many windows open -- so a desktop calendar I don't think would be helpful if you are working at your PC alot. Because choosing "show desktop" is almost as much trouble as double clicking the clock.

I was actually looking for the same thing not long ago, and there were several options available from www.download.com that would incorporate directly into your desktop. I tried almost all of them, and they all function very similarly, and I didn't notice a significant drop in system resources from having them run constantly, so it's mostly a matter of features and aesthetics.
What I discovered, though, is that it's just as much of a pain to minimize all your windows to see a calendar as it is to double click the windows time.

Yahoo widgets comes from Konfabulator, which use to be on the Mac WAY before Apple photocopied it as "Dashboard".

I tested it on my 2000 machine, but on the XP machine it shows the date.
