How can I change the default values in the application calendar in Windows 8?

Is it possible to change the default reminder from 15 minutes to 30 minutes so I don't have to change for each entry I do?  Also, is it possible to add a different time in the menu option drop down?  I use the calendar largely for work, and it would be useful to have an option 8 hours duration, so I can't choose an end time, whenever I put in my schedule.

Hi dgommy,

Is it possible to change the default reminder from 15 minutes to 30 minutes? ==> YES

  1. See thread why Windows 8 'Calendar' app doesn't have the option to change the first day of the week? where I explain how to access the Calendar Options page.
  2. On the main Options page Watch change your reminders and calendar settings
  3. By clicking on a name calendar brings a page where you can define when you want to receive reminders for this calendar - default 15 minutes before.
    Don't forget to save your changes ;-)

It is possible to add a different time in the menu option drop down?- it would be convenient to have an 8-hour option term, so I can't choose an end time, whenever I put in my schedule. ==> As far as I know that's not possible. Let me suggest the following solution:

  • Instead of using Windows 8 calendar pin a shortcut to Outlook.com/Calendar to your start screen. To do this, since the start screen:
    -Launch Outlook.com and switch to the calendar as explained for your 1st question
    -Right-click somewhere at the top of the page to display the bottom 'bar '.
    -Click the icon called "Website tasks" (a PIN with 3 lines)
    -Select Pin to Start
    - ...
  • To create an 8 hours, go from either from 09:00 click - don't double-click - on 09:00 'square' of the date you want, and then drag your mouse down until 17:00 (8 hours block appear in a different color) and click on the Add link...

I hope this helps.

See you soon

LZ.

  • How can I change the background color under Windows 7 64-bit

    How to get the background color of the screen to change.  I went through the customization of themes and custom colors that changed some screens, but not all.  I've recently updated to XP and I find it frustrating.  For example, when you use ITunes, my desktop background is white which is difficult to focus on for long periods of time.  On my XP machine, I was able to change the background of a light gray.  Help, please.

    In fact it's not Windows, it's iTunes.  The latest version is very white (and very hard on the eyes).  It seems just as bad on XP, you probably just the previous version of iTunes before you upgrade.  Unfortunately, Apple is the only one who can change - it program iTunes, and they do not meet the standard rules of "respect the choice of the users!

  • How can I change the print quality of 72 dpi and 300 dpi?

    When I try to print the image from my library on my printer fate at very low resolution. There is nothing wong with the printer - if I use another program to print the results are perfect. How can I change the resolution settings in Windows 7?

    Hello Robin,.

    Although some applications allow you to change the settings for printing (as parameters of the screen), print quality is generally a function of the properties of the printer. Go to the Control Panel, select devices and printers, then select the printer in question. Right-click on the printer, select Properties, and then look for quality printing or the DPI settings page to change the resolution of your default printer. Once the resolution was increased, Windows will display the new default setting.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards
