Where is the default Calendar information stored in Firefox Sunbird?

I'm using Calendar through Firefox on Windows XP.

I put a bunch of items in the default My Calendar. Later, I created a
Calendar for my wife and saved it in Shared Folders. When searching the
drive, I found my wife's .ics file but I didn't find mine.

Questions: Where's the schedule information being stored? Why isn't it
in a *.ics file? How can I export this scheduling data?

I'd like to either switch to standalone Calendar or Thunderbird Calender
or all three and I don't know how to transfer the data. Is publishing
this to a webDav server my only option? Can Microsoft's IIS (standard on
XP Pro) be the publishing server?

thanks in advance,
briany

Go to the list of calendars, hidden behind the date picker near the top
left of the Calendar window. Select the calendar and get a context menu
(for example, by right-clicking it). Choose Edit Calendar. There you
can see the location of its ics file.

You do not need to export it. You can simply copy the file and put it
wherever you want it. Create a new calendar, and specify the location
of the existing ics file.

You rock! Thanks for the tip.

It's annoying that WinXP Search couldn't find the file, but it's there,
in a hidden folder (which I can make explorer see, but search still
won't look inside).
