For many people, the desktop is simply the place where shortcuts and icons are located, without any real functionality. Nonetheless, you can benefit from all the empty space on your desktop by adding post-its, and Vov Sticky Notes is one of the apps that can help you do that.

Once you install it on your PC, the application automatically goes to the system tray, and you can right-click its icon when you want to create a new note. It basically opens a resizable window where you can paste text or start typing some of your important tasks.

Another handy function of Vov Sticky Notes is that you can create reminders to be displayed on a regular basis. You only need to choose the frequency interval, and then enter an appropriate message.

I don't usually like this feature, but it seems appropriate for this program. Add a setting to allow the user to have it start up on Windows startup.

Fred,
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"stickynotesvov"="\"D:\\Program Files (x86)\\VOVSOFT\\Vov Sticky Notes\\sticky.exe\""

paste above to txt document change .txt to .reg and import to registry.
after that it will always start with windows.

Not to disrespect this program or Windows Sticky Notes but I've been using the Note Board Sticky Notes Add-on for the Chrome Browser. It works for me. Thanks for the off GAOTD but I'll pass on this one.

They could change those buttons to something more discrete... they scream windows 95.

I think I've used ATnotes on every Windows computer I have owned. Discontinued a generation ago, still works great with the most options combined with simplicity in design you will find. It is copyrighted. http://atnotes.free.fr/

The biggest advantage of Vov Sticky Notes over the Windows Sticky Notes is that you can add reminders to these notes. I like that feature and will be using them, mostly for that. A disadvantage is that they do not allow hyperlinks, whereas the Windows SNs do. So, when I need a note with a URL I will still be using Windows for convenience (read: lazy -- as I can always copy and paste from Vov to the browser URL bar).

Other than the reminder feature, I don't see a big improvement on the free version that comes with your Windows program.

Excellent, thank you Vov and GAOTD.
Two points to note:
1. When writing a note it changes the keyboard, e.g from USA to GB. (The ditto mark, alias quote, and the at sign @ above 2 are interchanged). Not terrible, just do not worry.
2. The excellent settings options for colour, background and font on the sticker are sadly not available for the reminder, which gives just a heavy thick ugly typeface, which is a pity but beggars cannot be choosers.
Still it works, and well.

If you want improvement suggestions, here they are:

1. Make it do things windows Sticky Notes does not do:

A. Allow it to Drag and drop images which auto resize to fit the note's size.
Sometimes you have an image you'd like to keep in a window on your desktop for many reasons. No utility does exactly that. Sure you can display images in a window. Pictus is great for displaying an image in a window but that's it, no frills. However, no utility will remember an image's position, size, & boot with windows.
Allow it to run animated gifs as images too. That's great for cartoons and such.

There is a world of graphics artists and designers out there.
Notes alone are great but "a picture is worth a thousand words".
Pinning an image of a current project on your desktop is a valuable tool.
Every time your system boots you get a fresh look at it and you get improvement ideas !

B. Similar to above: Drag and drop MP4s in a loop. So many people love & enjoy watching goofy videos. To have your favorite loop running on the desktop would be fun.
Give each window a mute button as some videos have sound.

2. Windows makes the notes look like actual sticky notes. Do exactly that just with more functionality !!
Remove your borders. They look way too Windows XP as the look is very dated. Windows has a + and X. Hey, they established a convention for this functionality so go with it. It looks better too. Place it in the header like they did. However, in the header add Font, font size, Bold and italic.
Windows can not change font & font size and it's a pain.
There are hot keys for that but it's a hidden functionality and few if any folks know about that.
Also, use the windows convention for resize drag in lower right corner.

Right click the image for background color (like windows) but add all those header functions. NetcomD at aol.com

I am unable to register using registration key. The activation failed! shows again and again. I am using windows 10 1709 latest version. May be it is due to firewall protection by windows defender.

Unlike the built in, will this allow you to save or recover text from the notes if one is delete?

I like it - works fine on Windows 10, 64 bits.
Better than WIndows version, as it goes down on the task bar.

Reply   |   Comment by aza  –  5 years ago  –  Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (+3)

aza: I loathe Windows 10 so continue to run Windows 7 instead with the taskbar restored to where it should've always been left by Microsoft.

Start / search programs, type in Sticky Notes, right click / Send to desktop (create shortcut) and then move the shortcut into the taskbar. Takes all of 20 seconds.

Open Windows Sticky Notes from the Quick Launch icon. Write whatever you want. Close Windows Sticky Notes window from the taskbar icon. Simple. No notes are deleted by closing the window; they merely disappear from the desktop.

You're kidding me, right? We've had sticky notes built into Windows since Windows 95! What next? A simple calculator? LMFAO.

Laxative, Only meaningless to out of touch, unaware, ignorant tossers like yourself. Why not your other manic suggestions? Because they ARE meaningless you lifeless buffoon. Now twaddle off, take several laxatives and get a life ... for God's sake! LOL

MarkCM, So your comment is not meant for everyone to understand, only for those who are `aware' and `in touch' and have nothing else to do in life but to keep up with the latest twadlle and slang, calling all others ignorant and buffoons? My ‘other suggestions' are of course manic and meaningless, but no more so than yours.
Finally I do object to taking the Divine Name in vain, a sure sign of ignorance.
I suggest that you either write comments for normal intelligent people to understand, or explain them, or lay off. But perhaps you are not capable.

One has to ask 'Why?' when there is a perfectly usable service like this built into Windows.
