I’m running Windows XP. I’ve received some ics files, and haven’t yet found a way to open them. Trying to get Windows to find a program to do this and googling on how to open ics files have not helped, everything I’ve found is confusing to me. Can someone tell me what I need to do to open these files?
.ics is a calendar file. You will need a calendar manager such as outlook or exchange to open it.
They are text files, so if you want to look at the contents without the benefit of a friendly GUI, you can open them with an editor such as Notepad. The wiki entry has information on what the various fields mean.
If you have a Gmail account, you can email the files to yourself as attachments. When you view them through the website, it will automatically display an Add to calendar link.
