How it works
Jot down a phone number, write a to-do list or set a reminder to call your boss with a quick Windows 7 Sticky Note. These electronic notes help you stay organized while saving paper and reducing clutter. To access Sticky Notes, go to the Start menu, choose All Programs, Accessories, then Sticky Notes, or run StikyNot.exe from Internet Explorer.
Format your notes
Choose from seven fun Sticky Note colors by right-clicking on the note. To type a note, simply click where you want the text to appear and start typing. If you have a touchscreen or tablet PC, use your stylus or finger to write the note. You can also easily resize, collapse and flip through notes with a quick click.
Add another reminder by clicking the + sign in the top left corner of the existing note. When you’re done with a note, delete it by using the x in the top right corner.
