Mastering Desktop Organization: Notes on W11/W10
You can add notes to the Windows 11/10 desktop with Sticky Notes. However, you can’t add any notes to software windows with that accessory. That’s a pity since such a feature would enable you to stick all kinds of instructional and hotkey notes for apps to their windows, not to mention task reminders, etc.
However, Stick A Note and Notezilla are two third-party apps with which you can stick notes to software windows, which we’ll look at here.
How to Add Sticky Notes to Software Windows With Stick a Note
Stick A Note is a freeware and portable note-taking software for Windows 11 and Windows 10 from the talented solo developer Anand Gupta. By pressing that app’s hotkey, you can add a note to any software window you wish. Follow these steps to get stuck in with Stick A Note:
First, open theStick A Note Softpedia page.
Select Softpedia’sDownload Now andSecure Download (US) options.
Bring up Windows 11’s Explorer file manager from the taskbar by clicking its folder library icon.
Navigate to the folder the Stick A Note ZIP file downloaded in.
Extract the downloadedStick A Note 3.0.1 (1).zip archive. Ourhow-to unzip files in Windows 10 guide includes instructions for extracting ZIPs.
Double-clickStick A Note.exe in that software’s extracted folder.
Next, double-click theStick A Note system tray icon.
Click theSettings button on the app’s window.
Select theShift checkbox to change Stick A Note’s hotkey toWin +Shift +N . This is necessary because Windows 11 already has aWin +N keyboard shortcut for notifications that matches this software’s default hotkey.
ClickOK on the Settings – Stick A Note window.
Open a software window to stick a note.
Press theWin +Shift +N hotkey to add a note to the window.
Click the sticky note and selectEdit Note .
Enter the content in theNote for this window box.
SelectOK in the Notes window.
Now that note will remain stuck to the window until you delete it. If you close and reopen an app window, press theWin +Shift +N hotkey to view its note.
Software Update Pro - Check and update software installed on your computer.
Or you can set Stick A Note to automatically show notes after opening software windows. To do so, right-click the program’s system tray icon and selectSettings . Select theAuto Show Note for the Active Program checkbox, and click theOK option.
To remove a note, click theEdit option in it; press theDelete button on the editing window. SelectYes on the dialogue box asks to confirm the note’s deletion.
Stick A Note is a little short on formatting options. For instance, you can’t apply bold or italic formatting to a note’s text. Nor are there any font selection or size options.
However, you can at least change the color and size of the notes. To do that, right-click theStick a Note system tray icon and selectSettings >Note Settings ; choose an alternative option on theNote Color drop-down menu. Enter values up to600 in the size boxes to resize the notes.
How to Stick Sticky Notes to Software Windows With Notezilla
Notezilla is a more comprehensive sticky note app for Windows 11/10/8/7. You can stick notes to the desktop area and software windows with Notezilla. This software also packs text-formatting options for notes, among other more advanced features.
Alas, Notezilla isn’t freeware software. It’s retailing at a reasonable $29.95 on the Conceptworld site. You can try out Notezilla by downloading and installing its 30-day trial package. This is how you can stick notes to windows with Notezilla:
