Access to the Task Tray

Is there a way to give someone access to the Task Tray Calendar, without
making them a Power User, or Administrator on the local machine?

Start--> Run--> SECPOL.MSC--> Local Policies--> User Rights Assignment -->
Add "Users" (or whatever group... or even individuals if you really want
although that can get to be mess to administer in large environments) under
"Change System Time." Reboot. If you have a domain, you would probably
want to do this through Group Policy instead of local policy settings.

Note: this will allow them to actually change the time, which can be
considered a security problem (for example, if you rely on local logs for
security auditing.) Also if they change the time too drastically and you
run a domain, they may have trouble logging on.

If you just want to use this as a calendar without extending more rights,
you may want to consider one of the many other apps available online (which
have some nice features.) Although I use the Windows Time/Date applet as a
calendar too =)
