Outlook Calendar Reminder Desktop Alerts

February 25, 2008 9:17 AM

Do you know of any software that allows you to set the standard Outlook Calendar Reminders to be a desktop alert slider like the new email slider instead of the pop-up window?

I have recently defeated Windows tendency to steal the focus of my current window but now I do not see any Outlook calendar reminders. To compound the problem, I have replaced my taskbar with ObjectDock that auto hides so I do not even see the flashing calendar reminder. I typically dislike the new email slider and have disabled it, but it would be really useful if there was a calendar reminder slider given my configuration.

Response by poster: Well this is not working out to well. One thing I have found is Rainlendar Pro. You can route your Outlook calendar through this and those alerts pop to the front (ignoring all my specifications that windows never do such a thing... though in this case that is fine). Of course that costs money and is another program I have to run from startup.

Any other ideas?
