"Post-it" like notes for Desktop

**acerfmayer** · 2012-06-20 10:39

Hi -

Is anyone familiar with ATNotes or Stickies? I have tried both programs but cannot figure out how, in either program, to keep a particular note in a particular window. I want a note to be visible on the Desktop (Win EX Pro), but it is also visible in other open windows (ie Word, Firefox).

Thank you.

acerfmayer,
Hello...I'm not sure of what OS your running (Win EX Pro ?) I know that "7" and Vista have "Sticky Notes" If this is the case see All Programs > Accessories>Sticky Notes

Hi, All - my bad: Win Exp Pro.

Am looking for a [free]post-it like utility where notes will stay "pinned" to Desktop. I don't want them to 'move' to other open windows.....................Thanks

acerfmayer,

Hello... I can help you if you tell me "What Operating System" are you running? ...not the "App" Regards Fred

**acerfmayer** · 2012-06-20 14:59

Microsoft Windows XP Professional, SR3

acerfmayer,
OK now were on the same page ...The way to do this is to add the (Free) Vista "Side Bar" to your OS ..I have done this a while ago for my XP-Pro OS. The side bar with the Sticky Note App is included ...The Side Bar will be visable at all times no matter what your running ...Ill post a link for you to read through and download .... Just follow the instructions given ... To be on the "Safe Side" make a full System Image before you try this.Give me a sec and and I'll find it again

Regards Fred

PS: Heres the Link The Screen Shot is what I'm running on the Side Bar ...Don't use the Sticky

Thanks for your time and work on my behalf.

I do not want to have a sidebar visible in other apps that I am running. I want to be able to create a note and have it stay where I place it. I cannot figure out how to do that in ATNotes or Stickies. using Stickies I did create a note that would appear in a folder I call Upkeep, but don't understand how to create one that will stay on Desktop.

Sorry you spent your time/energy today. I do not want to sound ungrateful 'cuz I am not.

Sorry you spent your time

Hello... You do not have to keep the sidebar visable ...or you could only use the side bar "Sticky" by itself, and turn it on and off as needed...Regards Fred

Hello... One other suggestion a few actually

1. Use your MS Word Pad

2. Use your MS Note Pad

3. Better choice would be NotePad ++ Free make a folder and place your notes in it ...you then could open it when you want and even keep it on your Desktop.

Regards Fred

Hi, Fred -

Had thought of those options but they entail additional clicks. Want to see the note staring at me when on desktop.

The best Stickies application I have found is this one:

Stickies by Zhorn Software

It is free, fully featured, and configurable. Check it out. I use it every day.
