Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Taking a cue from real-world Post-it notes, Stick provides an equivalent product for your computer desktop. A few differences make the program a valuable asset for any PC. The most noticeable is that notes, when closed, turn into tabs you can then append to the sides of your screen. This makes keeping your desktop tidy a snap. In addition to basic text notes, you also can create Explorer notes, which are actual Windows Explorer windows. You can navigate the file system from within these or even use them for Web browsing.
Each note features a variety of customization options such as window color, transparency, autohiding, and font choices. Though it does lack a few features of the more advanced sticky-note apps, we recommend Stick for its ease of use and excellent implementation of tabs.
Publisher's description
From iWonder Designs :Organize your desktop using screen tabs to access the Web, browse your hard drive or network, and take notes. With Stick you can do all these things with tabs that dock to the sides of your screen. With note taker tabs, you can jot down richly formatted notes and access them at any time. The integrated Web browser is based on Internet Explorer so you don't have to worry about browser compatibility. Version 2.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Version: Stick 2.2
"Very useful tool for organizing your desktop."
Pros: If you're interested in an uncluttered desktop, this is a great program. My desktop background is now the desktop foreground, a picture I can enjoy without 20 icons obstructing the view, and yet I can still quite easily access all those same icons via collapsible tabs.
Cons: The only problem I have with this product is the lack of instructions. It takes a little figuring out, but once you've done that, it isn't complicated at all.

Version: Stick 2.2
"Stick works great to get rid of desktop clutter"
Pros: I wanted a way to keep Explorer windows docked on a sidewall so that they are easily accessable/hidable...Stick answers this problem perfectly. The Calendar tab is also very useful as it saves you 2 clicks when viewing your Outlook calendar. Stick understands multiple monitors, so you have your choice to dock on 8 walls if you have two monitors. I think I might like the RSS reader, but the jury's still out. Of course, the fact that Stick is free is very cool too.
Cons: No dislikes so far, but I would like to suggest two ideas: It would be nice to see the folder tree info in the Explorer tab; and I'd like to add appointments to the Calendar via the calendar view (or a button to open Outlook in Cal mode).

Version: Stick 2.2
"Solid Program, But Needs More Features"
Pros: It is a Good Idea. The Sticky Notes Function works very well.
Cons: it is not very functional. The Standard Windows way of getting around is much quicker
