Thomas, I too have Windows 7 Home Premium. I found sticky notes under Accessories. Glad you were able to take care of your problem. Now I’m going to have fun.

I had 2 sticky notes on my desktop. I had pinned sticky notes to the taskbar. I had an IT person come down and fix an outlook issue (unrelated). The IT person unpinned sticky notes & closed the sticky notes on my desktop. Now I do not know where to find them. Can you help?

Really cool tool. Now if I could selectively minimize some sticky notes while keeping others open. Right now I have “all” or “none” options. Not good enough.

Hallo I use sticky notes the last couple of weeks and i find that it’s a great tool!
Only I have a question: I have 7 or 8 different sticky notes. They do not appear all sticky notes at the same time on the desktop. What I see is 2 or 3 every time and when I click to the arrows the next 2 or 3 appear. Could it be possible that i organize my sticky notes like groups, for example i want to appear on the desktop sticky notes with the name Monday Tuesday Wednesday and then when i click on the arrows to appear Thursday Friday Saturday. At that moment they appear randomly like Monday, Friday, Thursday. Thank you very much for your time and your response.

I have a touch screen computer, but I always use a mouse, not my finger. I accidentally scribbled on my sticky note with my finger and now I cannot get rid of the “scribble”. Will I have to delete the sticky note and re-create it? The scribble didn’t show up anywhere else on my screen, just on the sticky note, so that’s why I think it is a sticky note issue.

So I have a touch screen and I can write with my finger but how do I erase what I’ve wrote with out having to start over?

Roger: I use Total Commander from ghisler.com , it shows hidden and system files, too.
Paris: use Ctrl-Z (repeatedly) to undo – as usual in many Windows programs.

about .snt file. Now I realized, that we just need cmd.exe to manage the StickyNotes file: open cmd.exe window, type “cd /d %APPDATA%MicrosoftSticky Notes”, then you can rename or any.

Sad to say Laszlo that even after setting TotalCommander to reveal hidden files the folders I want to see do not show up. I fear the data is locked away for ever.

Thanks for all your suggestions anyway.

Best wishes, Roger

Roger, as I wrote on 16.03 : Sticky Notes stores all its data in this file: “%APPDATA%MicrosoftSticky NotesStickyNotes.snt” – it is our destination. You wrote that you can see the dead disk as J:
So do the following:
1. cmd.exe
2. cd /d “J:DEAD LAPTOP DRIVEUsersRogerAppdata”
(Appdata folder is hidden, you cannot see it, but you can navigate to it if you give explicit folder name.)
3. cd “RoamingMicrosoftSticky Notes”
(we did it in 2 steps for easier understanding)
4. dir
(It shows you the StickyNotes.snt file.)
5. copy StickyNotes.snt C:
(not necessary to use C:, but it is easier for you to follow the steps)
6. copy C:StickyNotes.snt “%APPDATA%MicrosoftSticky Notes”
8. dir “%APPDATA%MicrosoftSticky Notes”
(It shows you the StickyNotes.snt file.)
9. You can close the black cmd.exe window.
10. “Start” button , Run this: Sticky Notes

I have quite a few sticky notes sitting on my desktop. Whenever I log off on my account and log back on, the sticky notes move into different positions and I have to spend time painstakingly moving them back to their positions. Is there a way to stop them moving?

while using the companion 2 (windows 8) most of the time sticky notes will no t allow me to write with the pen… but occasionally it does and I cant seem to find a key command to switch from text to freewriting … it registers my finger touch as a freewriting command but not the pen… i also sticky notes with my surface pro 4 and it works very well with that machine.. any ideas?

I know how to use sticky notes. My question is I want to put my accumulation of sticky notes in a new folder ON my desktop, I don’t know how do it.

Seems like a simple straightforward aide memoire system so I’ll use it.
