"Post-it" like notes for Desktop

Hi, JC -

I agree that it's terrific. It's the one I'm trying to understand. From reading their various boards, I think one cannot have a note that appears only on Desktop, which is what I was really after.

Thanks for your post.

After re-reading your initial post, it sounds like you are looking for a note to either stay on top or be visible on the desktop only. The stickies program has a button on each sticky (upper left corner) which lets you toggle On-Top status. Maybe that is what you were after.

I would try the Sticky Notes. They remain on the desktop, and not visible on other apps. It came with my Win 7 laptop but runs on all recent Win OS versions.

I like Stickit by Singer's Creations. Been using it for years (though not the latest version). If you're on a LAN, you can even put notes on other people's desktops, though you have to know their IP address (in my version, anyway).

Thank you for your post. Alas, On Top keeps the note visible on all screens. You are right: I am looking for a program that keeps a note on the desktop only.

Thank you for your input.

Thank you, Thank you tonyl! I just downloaded it and it seems to answer just what I was after. Don't know why I couldn't find it in my 2-day search for such a program.

It does just what I had been hoping.

Goodness, this thing rambles and rambles. Suggest that you go to any office supply store, purchase a package of "Post-it" notes, use a pencil/pen & write your notes, then paste them on the outside frame of your monitor. Forget about the desktop. Seems pretty simple to me--and the notes are always visible. This works even when the computer is powered down.
