Windows Vista Calendar on Win 7


Recommended Posts

Since Microsoft took out Windows Calendar from Windows 7, I was wondering, does the Calendar app from Windows Vista work on Windows 7?

Yes it does. Just copy it from a Vista install to the same locations on 7 and create the shortcuts. It works perfectly. Windows Mail, Photo Gallery, Ink Ball (*), Media Player 11, Tinker (*), Texas Hold 'Em (*)(**), and other work just as well.

(*) Needs to be run on 7 Ultimate with Vista Compatibility.

(**) Needs additional registry entries

I have a Vista DVD. How do I get Texas Hold 'Em to run on Windows 7?

You have to have Vista Ultimate then update it to get Texas Hold 'Em and then copy that over to your 7 Ultimate install to the same place it exists in Vista. There's some registry entries to modify and then set the shortcut to run in Vista compatibility mode. Just search around for Texas Hold 'Em on 7 for the registry instructions.

I don't know which calendar are you talking about (don't remember using any calendar under Vista), but there's a nice one in Windows Live Mail in Windows 7.

It's called Windows Calendar and it doesn't require that you have to sign in to a web site to use it.
