Using Windows Calendar Component in Windows 7

        Users upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 may find that Win7 removes the Windows Calendar component from Vista. Although we can use Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar or other third-party software instead, this stand-alone component is still simpler and simpler. Practical choice. This article will help you get back to the Windows Calendar component, "install" it into Windows 7, and add Chinese lunar calendars and holidays.

Download and install

First, download the Windows calendar separated by users from Vista.

After downloading, extract it to the \\Program Files\\Windows Calendar\\ folder, right click on the executable file name WinCal, select "Lock to taskbar" or "attach to the start menu" .

Folder description in the compressed package:

zh-CN--Simplified Chinese language package for calendar components

en-US--English language package


The Windows Calendar component uses the Simplified Chinese interface by default. If you need English, rename or delete zh-cn, close and restart the calendar component. The component has been tested for accessibility in Windows 7, supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

Subscribe to the calendar library and add lunar calendars and holidays

In China, calendar software without lunar calendars is definitely not perfect. Windows Calendar can further expand its use by easily adding festivals and lunar calendars by subscribing to the ICS source on the web. Here are a few calendar databases that can be subscribed to and downloaded in just a few seconds. The festival database includes the most important festivals in China.
