Add Google Calendar to your Desktop

One way to display Google Calendar on your Windows desktop is to create a shortcut to the calendar. This allows you to open the calendar with just one click, without having to open the browser and type in the URL every time. With a few simple steps you can set up the calendar directly on your desktop.

• Right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select “New” and then “Shortcut”.

• Enter the URL “https://calendar.google.com” as the location.

• Give the shortcut an optional name, e.g. “Google Calendar “

• Double-click the now created shortcut on your desktop to open Google Calendar in your default browser. Sign in to your Google account if needed.

• If you often work with many tabs and applications, it may be convenient to open Google Calendar directly from the taskbar. Left-click the Google Calendar shortcut on your desktop, drag it to the taskbar, and release the shortcut to pin it to the taskbar.
