Publisher's description of Sticky Notes

The Sticky Notes application allows you to create electronic sticky notes directly on your Windows desktop. The Sticky Notes are just like paper post-it notes for your computer. Jot down tasks, messages, ideas, appointments, phone numbers, birthdays in a note and stick it on the desktop. A note can be positioned anywhere you wish, or hidden in your task bar, then searched and displayed later. Notes can be resized. The note's contents can be formatted to include fonts, colors, transparency and hyperlinks. Also notes have a click thru capability. Once on screen, notes will remain where placed until closed, even through reboots. Alarms can be added to a note to act as a reminder. Sticky Notes application is small and simple and all notes are kept in the text file. It does not use the registry.

Version 2.2 features a find / replace inside a note, a multi-monitor support, an alarm sound, a text strikethrough, a saving of search's window size and position, a multiple items selection in the search/alarm list.

Editor's review of Sticky Notes

The days of cluttered physical desktops, with dozens of yellow notes everywhere, are over. There are plenty of programs to help create virtual notes, but Sticky Notes sets itself apart from the pack with its ease and simplicity.

This free program embeds itself into your tray and creates a new note when double-clicked. Immediately, a square pops up with a Menu button, an option to hide or make the note visible, and a clock at the bottom telling what time the note was created. Typing a reminder is simple and easy and doesn't really differ from any other notes program. Where Sticky Notes gets ahead of its competition is with its options. Clicking on the Menu brings up a long list of ways to customize the program. From setting its priority, to changing the color, setting an alarm, transparency, and even options to print, there are plenty of ways to configure the program to your liking.

Sticky Notes quickly and easily makes notes for anyone interested in staying organized and our complaints are fairly minimal. One big issue we had was that when new notes are created, they stack on top of one another and must physically be staggered. This may cause some notes to get lost in the shuffle. That is a small issue, though, and we recommend this download for anyone looking for notes.

  Version: Sticky Notes 2.2

  "Pretty good"

  by swampkitty421 on July 4, 2009

  Pros: Works like it's supposed to. Has lots of different options. It's free, the bonus over Notezilla.

  Cons: Kind of "old" looking-- not as pretty as Note Zilla.

  Summary: I like it because it does what I need it to. nice overall
