DeskTask connects to Microsoft Outlook and displays your calendar and task items on the desktop. It displays Calendar items in the current week (next 14 days) and the items you may have in your Outlook task list. The window is pinned to your desktop and is transparent, having no impact if you have a wallpaper.

    I prever this one over "Outlook on Desktop", too. The type is easy to read and there are more options. Avaiable in different languages.

    This is a good program and works as advertised. I've recently switched to "Outlook on the Desktop" (available on FileForum), which is a bit more useful because you can edit the calendar directly from your desktop, as well as scroll to different dates.

    It might be me but I did Download it, I seen it on my Desktop. Closed it, and it never opened again. I tried to reinstall, and I couldn't. I want to use it, but...

    Love this little app. I do want to be able to hide the tray icon, though.
