STICKY NOTES

One of the Windows 7 goodies I share with my friends:

If you run windows 7 on your machine, the sticky notes facility provides a great way to quickly type a reminder, a name, a phone number, an idea in a sticky note on your desktop like the paper ones you stick about your desk .

Click is always LEFT unless right is specified.

Using sticky notes:

• To create a new note, click on + in an existing  note heading (top left),
• Or click on the Sticky Note icon in the Task Bar (See below how to create that icon )
• Delete a note with a click on its X (Top right).
• Add text in Note: click inside note to get a typing cursor. Type .
• Change color of Note: right click in Note

Very easy and convenient to use.

A little more intricate to set up.

One time set up

create Sticky note icon on the taskbar:

1. Click on Start then on All Programs
2. In the list that appears click on Accessories (usually below a bunch of “Windows …” entries)
3. In the Accessories list that now appears, RIGHT click on Sticky Note then,
4.  in the menu that opens, left click on Pin to Task Bar. Now your Task Bar has a new  Icon ( a picture of a yellow note on top of a blue note).

 From now on, just click on that icon to get a new note on your desktop.

Enjoy.
