MORE INFORMATION

Add Holidays to the Calendar

To add holidays to the Calendar, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.
  2. On the Preferences tab, click Calendar Options and then click Add Holidays.
  3. Click to select the appropriate country, and click OK.
If you have already added a country's holidays, you will see a check next to the country name. If you try to add the same country again, you receive the following error message:
Holidays for <country> are already installed.
Do you want to install them again?
If you click Yes, the holidays will install a second time and you will see duplicate holiday entries.

Remove Holidays from the Calendar

To remove holidays from the Calendar, follow these steps:

  1. Open your Calendar. On the View menu, point to Current View, and then click Events.

  2. Click the Location column heading to sort the list of holidays by country.
  3. Click to select the first holiday you want to delete.
  4. Hold down SHIFT and click the last holiday you want to delete.
  5. Press DELETE to remove all the selected holidays from your Calendar.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

After you change to the category view, you can press Ctrl+A to select all the items. It's a little more efficient than deleting within each category.
