In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up a volume calendar pop-up system tray in Windows. This feature allows you to easily view your calendar events without having to open the full Calendar application. Let's get started!
Prerequisites
Before we begin, ensure that the following requirements are met:
- Windows operating system (Windows 10 recommended)
- Microsoft Outlook or any other compatible email client
Step 1: Enable Calendar Notifications
The first step is to enable calendar notifications in your email client. Here's how to do it in Microsoft Outlook:
Outlook --> File --> Info --> Account settings --> Account settings --> Select the email account --> More settings --> Notifications tab --> Check the "Show notifications for new email messages" and "Show notifications for new calendar events" options
Step 2: Create a Shortcut
Next, we need to create a shortcut to open the volume calendar pop-up. Here's how:
Windows key + R --> Type "shell:RunDll32.exe user32.dll,Control_RunDLL32" --> Press Enter --> Type "Calendar" and press Enter --> Check the "Show this window when I log in" option --> Click "OK"
Step 3: Customize the Pop-up
You can customize the pop-up to display the desired calendar view and time range. Here's how:
Right-click the volume icon in the system tray --> Select "Calendar" --> Click the gear icon --> Select the desired calendar view and time range
Step 4: Configure the Pop-up to Show Notifications
To configure the pop-up to show notifications, follow these steps:
Right-click the volume icon in the system tray --> Select "Calendar" --> Click the gear icon --> Select "Settings" --> Check the "Show notifications" option
Step 5: Test the Pop-up
Finally, test the pop-up to ensure that it's working correctly. Create a new calendar event and check if you receive a notification in the system tray.
That's it! You now have a volume calendar pop-up system tray that displays your calendar events and notifies you of new events.
