Hello Steve,

Sorry, but saving the sticky note as a file is not a option. As long as you do not delete the sticky notes, they will stay on your desktop even after a shutdown, restart, log off, sleep, or hibernate.

It's a little-mentioned new feature of Windows 7, but I really like this little app.

I like it and then..............

Yes, it's useful but what I don't like is that when you have one or more sticky notes active, then you have an icon called "Sticky Notes" in the taskbar. IF I ever want to know or see if I have any notes all I have to do is go to Show Desktop.

Hello Baitmn, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Deleting all of the sticky notes will have them not display at startup anymore.

Perhaps I'm being too picky, but the one thing that annoys me about Sticky Notes is that it continues to display it's icon on the Taskbar. Is there no way to have it appear in the System Tray instead?
