Stickies combines the best and most important features that you could want in a notes program with the added glory of being free. The program's main feature, the sticky note, can be customized on nearly every level, from font to color to behavior. Once loaded, the program installs a yellow sticky pad in your QuickLaunch bar. Double-click on it to load a new sticky, or right-click on it to access saved stickies and configuration options.
Fonts, hot keys, formatting, opacity, default window size, alarms, and more can all be tailored to your needs. There are multiple default settings for different users, alarm options can be sound-based or visually based, or both, the sticky can be attached to a program window, and the text can be locked so you don't accidentally delete important information. SSK files can be imported to skin your sticky experience, and you can use your network connection to send notes to co-workers. There's PocketPC and Palm support, and you can also easily export stickies to a removable drive and load them on a different computer.
Despite all these features, Stickies weighs in at less than 1MB and uses only about 20MB of RAM while in use. It's not quite as light as air, but it is far more environmentally and aesthetically friendly than covering the edge of your monitor with paper notes.
Publisher's Description
From Zhorn Software:
Stickies is a PC utility written to replace Post-It-style notes left stuck to your monitor. The design goal behind Stickies is that the program is small and simple. Stickies will not mess with your system files, or write to the Registry. Stickies stores all information in a single text-based INI file. Stickies will never support animated dancing figures, or play "Greensleeves". They are instead yellow rectangular windows onto which you can put some text notes. Once created, they will stay on screen until you take them away. Just like a real sticky piece of paper.
Version 6.0c fixes a bug where rolled-up stickies were not remembering their width when Stickies was restarted.
What's new in this version: Version 6.0c fixes a bug where rolled-up stickies were not remembering their width when Stickies was restarted.

"These are definitely for "stickie users"!"
Version: Stickies 6.0c
Pros
I love the "stickies"! I had stickies all over my screen edge. Now, I have only the very temporary ones until I get more programmed to the daily review them on my screen.
Cons
I'm still having a problem with a stickie popping up when I'm opening new windows. I'm no sure if it's me or the program.
-
"Great!"
Version: Stickies 6.0c
Pros
Excellent Program. Easy to Use.
-
"Perfect"
Version: Stickies 6.0c
Pros
Been using this for a few days now, and it's just great. Reminds me to take this medicine I keep forgetting. Always end up taking it late at night when I FINALLY remember. You can write whatever you need to do, like for example, something to remind yourself to do this and that the next day. It'll be there. =D.
Nope, no Cons for this nifty program. Definitely a must-download.

"Good alternative small version of e-sticky notes"
Version: Stickies 6.0c
Pros
I tried Post-It-Notes Lite, and this is smaller (footprint) and more useful.
Cons
Not dislike, but 3-D effect of date on by default - makes it look terrible. Turn -off by defaulkt, and increase 3-D effect to look better with resolution of screen.
