Use the Windows Calendar

1. Add the Calendar gadget to the desktop. (See the earlier task, "Open the Gadget Gallery and Add Gadgets to the Desktop.")
2. Move your mouse over the calendar and click the Size tool to move between the large size, which displays both the monthly and daily sections, and the smaller size, which displays only the daily display by default.
3. With the larger calendar displayed, click the Next or Previous arrows to move to another month; doubleclick a date to display it in the lower part of the calendar; and click the red tab in the lower-left corner to return to today's date in the lower area.

Tip If you prefer to use the smaller size calendar but want it to display the monthly rather than daily calendar, just double-click the small display, and it toggles between month and day.

Tip With the monthly display shown in the smaller size, you can jump to the daily display for a specific date by double-clicking that date in the monthly view.
