I've noticed a folder in AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Crash Reports containing a file "InstallTime20191031083309" and an empty folder "events."

UK's Kalender is a personal calendar that sits in the system tray and reminds you of upcoming events or deadlines. Events can be displayed in weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly view. They can also be organized into different categories with their own settings. Documents or programs can be attached to an event so that they are automatically launched when the event fires. The program also allows sharing via network (multi-user).

IMHO, given the amount of fixes and updates and the fact that it retained portability, this entry should be updated to point to T-Clock Redux (Beta)... |
WalCal modifies a copy of your current wallpaper to include a static calendar. The program then sets this new version as your current wallpaper. Unlike other calendar tools, once created it takes up no CPU or memory.

Thanks, IaBaas, for posting this. May I suggest contacting the developer about that issue? I'm sure he'd pleasantly surprised by our interest. Thanks again.

"Desktop Calendar and Desktop Info appear to be attached to the desktop and technically they are. However they still disappear when you click the "Show Desktop" button in the Quick Launch toolbar. This is correct behaviour according to Windows; it's just very annoying. Presently, there's nothing you can do about this."

Perhaps not as easy or up-to-date, but I'm really satisfied with Walcal; I have been using it for years and it's portable (writes settings to ini).
