    Save sticky notes?


    I did a quick search but found nothing relevant. The question is - is it possible to save sticky notes for further use? I don't want to keep them open all th time and I want to keep some doodles
    I undertstand that I can probably just copy them or printscreen, but is it possible just to save them?

    Oh wait, I just figured that if you right click sticky notes in the taskbar you can still "close window" and afterwards open it and whatever you wrote/drew loads up

    But anyway, is it possible to save them as files, if, for example, I take notes on my tablet pc and don't wan to keep all of them on the screen all the time?

    You can find the file here C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes
    The file is called StickyNotes.snt

    Note that you need to be able to view hidden files and folders - see Hidden Files and Folders - Show or Hide for details.

    Forgot to add that irrespective of how many individual notes you have, there is only one file per <UserName>, which contains all the notes in a single file.

    How do they persist?


    Hello! :)

    Are they actually written to disk? Or are they gone as soon as i restart, or turn off the computer?

    When are they saved? (if they are)

    Regards

    They are saved, in the file as indicated in a previous post. So, unless you delete the note, it will still be available after shutting down and rebooting.

    Cool, I don't have to put them on my fridge anymore.

    I've just been leaving the sticky notes open when I shut down or reboot and they're there when the PC starts up again...

    Should I be doing the close window thing first?

    Cheers

    Delete or close?


    I accidentally clicked the x on my sticky note and had a lot of data I needed on it. It didn't ask me so save but when I open the snt file mentioned it's just a default blank note. How can I get my notes back?

    Just a guess, but try navigating to the C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ directory, right click on the StickyNotes folder, and try to restore previous version.
