How are calendar files stored on local HD?

Hi,

How does windows live calendar store its offline contents on the HD? Have
searched for .ics files but the search engine doesn't find anything.

Thanks
Ole

Re: How are calendar files stored on local HD?

Windows Live Calendar does not save data in ics files in WLM.

You do have the option, and only in the web interface for each Live ID's calendar to share a calendar with an ics option.
http://calendar.live.com
- click on Share for the options seen below

Sharing settings for "Calendar"
- Don't share this calendar (keep it private)
- Share this calendar

Share options are:
1. Share your calendar with friends and family
- You decide if they can add, edit, or just view events and to-dos.

2. Send friends a view-only link to your calendar
They'll only be able to view your calendar but they won't need a Windows Live ID.

a. Get your calendar links(this will also save your settings)
b. If you want people to see all the details of your calendar, use these links.
HTML: Preview in a web browser
ICS: Import into another calendar application
RSS: View in a feed reader
Reset calendar URLs

c. If you want people to only see when you're free and busy, use these links.
HTML: Preview in a web browser
ICS: Import into another calendar application
RSS: View in a feed reader
Reset calendar URLs

3. Make your calendar public
Post a public link so that anyone can search for and view your calendar online.
Permission: View details and View free/busy times
Time Zone: <select>
a. Get your calendar links(this will also save your settings)
b. If you want people to see all the details of your calendar, use these links.
HTML: Preview in a web browser
ICS: Import into another calendar application

Re: How are calendar files stored on local HD?

I have the same question, but it is in regards to Windows Live Mail Desktop
(as the category suggests) and not the online calendar. The program has a
calendar which does not sync with the online calendar, I'm trying to export
it to the online calendar and my phone, however I do not know where the files
are located on my HD, and there is no export to .ics file option. Can someone
help me.

Re: How are calendar files stored on local HD?

In WLM, the calendar for the default account(No Windows Live ID) or for each Live ID(logon to Windows Live)are stored in hidden
folder(DBStore) and file called WLCalendarStore.edb.
