Pin the Outlook Calendar to Your Desktop

Want to make your calendar a little more visible? Michael Scrivo's Outlook on the Desktop does exactly that: It pins the Outlook calendar to your desktop. Even better, it's fully functional: You can interact with the calendar just like you would in Outlook proper. (You can also view your Inbox, contacts, tasks, and notes .) The program lets you adjust the calendar's size, location, and opacity, and even assign it to a different monitor if you use more than one.

Outlook on the Desktop is free for Windows; it requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (which the installer will fetch for you if it's not already installed on your system).
