Question About Windows 10 Active Desktop

runfromabear · Dec 22, 2016

Hoping to add a calendar and task list from Google or Outlook as an active desktop on my computer but I seem to have a hard time finding out how to do that. Is active desktop an option with Windows 10? Any tips on how to get this to work

Active Desktop was discontinued after Windows XP.
Here's a program that will put MSO Outlook's calendar on the desktop.

I have outlook mail and calendar. When I downloaded the program it said I needed a version of Microsoft outlook 2003 or newer. Maybe mine isn't new enough.

HI

Also can check the version of Outlook (Office) you have by following https://support.office.com/en-gb/ar...-I-using-932788b8-a3ce-44bf-bb09-e334518b8b19
But give this older version of Outlook on the Desktop a go as its a 2007 version that may just work for you (may need to right click the installer setup.exe and choose Run as Administrator to allow it to install ok) https://outlookonthedesktop.com/setupv133.exe

I doubt it.
DavidGP posted a link you should follow, and you'll know which version of Outlook you have.
