Stickies for Windows
This might be of interest to those that like to take a quick way to make a note on their computer. One of the problems of doing this with Outlook is that you need to open the application and then enter the note. This way you just click once and off you go.
‘Stickies for Windows lets you put yellow sticky notes on your Windows desktop, much like the popular MacOS application. It is very simple, very customizable, and completely free! ‘
‘Stickies is purposely simple, but it has a variety of features that make it quite useful:
- Customizable: Every aspect of the user interface is customizable, from the note colors and fonts to the icon in the system tray. You can customize every note on your desktop or change notes individually. You can even make your sticky notes semi-transparent!
- Easy To Use: Your notes and settings are saved between sessions, so your sticky notes will remain on your desktop if you restart your computer or restart the program.
- Sharable: You can save sticky notes to files and email notes to friends. The notes will show up in the same place on your friend’s desktop with the same colors and fonts.
- Intuitive: You can move notes by clicking and dragging anywhere on the note rather than clicking on the titlebar. You can double-click on the note to edit it. If you don’t like this behavior, you can easily turn it off in your preferences.
- Convenient: You can make sticky notes behave like normal windows, or you can make them remain “floating” above all of the windows on your desktop so they are always visible.
- Standards Compliant: Stickies conforms to Windows XP standards. This means that Stickies uses the proper file and registry locations to save settings, so it should work for any number of users in most any modern Windows environment.’

Nice find, I’m gonna try it. Currently, I’m using Post-it Software notes LITE from 3M (http://www.3m.com/market/office/postit/com_prod/psnotes/)
