Step 6: Click the "OK" button to close the first dialog box.

At present, only birthday appointments display in the Calendar folder, and all birthday appointments are grouped into Reminder: Yes group and Reminder: No group.

Note: If there is no Reminder: No group in this Calendar folder, just open one birthday appointment and "remove its reminder".

Step 7: Click to select the group name of "Reminder: Yes", then drag it and move to the "Reminder: No" group.
