For many of you who already have Windows 7 installed as the main operating system for your machines, you will have by now familiarized yourself with many of its newly added applications and features which were absent with Windows XP and Vista. Windows 7 support points out that the “Sticky Notes” application is one of them.

Windows 7 support explains “Sticky Notes” and its application

The “Sticky Notes” application basically allows you to create electronic notes as part of reminders or notes of something you might be working on directly pinned onto your Windows desktop.

Windows 7 support explains that “Sticky Notes” are the same as paper post-it notes that operate with respect to a computer’s interface.

And with it, Windows 7 support suggests that you simply jot down tasks, messages, ideas, appointments, phone numbers, birthdays etc. and stick it on your desktop.

You can also position a note as such anywhere on your screen according to your preference or even hide it in your taskbar and then place a search for it later when you wish to display it (Sticky Notes can also be resized).

And apart from all of its uses already mentioned, Windows 7 support also points out that you can note down random thoughts that come to mind (something you wish to remember or employ) and also as reminders for tasks you wish to perform or complete in your next session just before you shutdown your machine.

So let us now take a look at the Windows 7 support process to employ the “Sticky Notes” application in performing such tasks to your advantage. Windows 7 support shows you how.

Using “Sticky Notes” with Windows 7 support

To begin with the Windows 7 support process to use “Sticky Notes”, you first need to head for the Windows “Start” menu on your machine followed by “All Programs”, then “Accessories” and launch the “Sticky Notes” application from it.

Now once you have it up and running on your screen, Windows 7 support suggests you proceed with typing in the note you wish to be reminded of later, after which the same will be automatically saved in.

Windows 7 support also points out that you can actively change the color of your notes depending on their priority level and in also making the whole setup more vibrant.

“It supports colors such as Blue, Green, Pink, Purple, White and Yellow” explains Windows 7 support.

And as discussed earlier, you can also adjust their position on your desktop by simply dragging them to a part of the screen where you wish for it to stick.

Finally, Windows 7 support also points out that its font by default resembles a hand written note.

And just for your future references, Windows 7 support explains that “Sticky Notes” also supports pen and touch input in case you have a tablet PC or a touchscreen.

To conclude, the “Sticky notes” application as I personally agree with many other users is another well crafted addition to Windows 7 operating system and its arsenal of features.
