How to Change the Default Font in Sticky Notes in Windows 7

Information

This will show you how to change the default font in Sticky Notes in Windows 7.

Warning

Copy the StikyNot.exe.mui to your desktop to edit

Use a resource hacker (I used Restorator 2007). Any resource hacker should do. Open up the StikyNot.exe.mui file from C:\Windows\System32\en-US extracted 3080.xml file.

Open it with Notepad++, then highlight Segoe Print.

Go to Search then Replace.

A Window will open up, and then type in the font of your choice. Click on Replace All. You will get a window telling you how many times it replaced it. I get 70.

Save the 3080.xml file in Notepad ++. Import/Replace the 3080.xml file back into StikyNot.exe.mui. with a resource hacker, save it. Then go to C:\Windows\System32\en-US\StikyNot.exe.mui take ownership give yourself permission and rename it to StikyNot.exe.bak.mui. Then replace the StikyNot.exe.mui with the one you just edited.

Where did you get the .mui from? I could only find the .exe?

How do I replace the modified 3080.xml back to StikyNot.exe.mui, dragging into Restorator doesn't work. And I can't edit directly from it (copy on Desktop).

That's how I do it by dragging and dropping back into place I don't know why yours isn't working.

Done job. When you drag back the 3080.xml file, be sure to drag it to the folder, not on the space below the html folder. It should be dragged directly into the folder so that the folder is highlighted while you are dragging the xml file.

And for 64 bit the mui file is located below:
