Jeff's handy Desktop Calendar was inspired by the 3-month paper calendars that almost all federal offices hang on their walls. Instead of having to manually adjust the calendar each month, this little app automatically advances after the 8th of the month when it shows the current month and the next month. Before the 8th of the month, the current month and the previous month are shown. Anytime you want you can display earlier ("Back") or later ("Next") months and always return to the default display ("Now").
This app also remembers where you put it on your desktop and re-opens there the next time. It's handy to put a shortcut in your Startup folder so it's always handy.
