Tutorial On Windows 7 Sticky Notes keep notes on whats important right on your desktop
Recommended for you:
A lot of people like to use the default Windows 7 Sticky Notes but most of us think that they cannot be formatted. I am talking about things like bold, italics, bullets, font size, etc. Well, the fact behind this is that we do not see any formatting options on the interface.
However, there are some shortcut keys that work on Sticky Notes and it’s just that people are unaware. Interestingly, we have been using these shortcuts on all common text editors like MS Word. And now we will use them on Sticky Notes as well. Doki doki literature ending.
Here’s the list, try them all.
Henceforth, you will be able to make the important notes and points stand out. You all know how formatting can help in grabbing attention.So why not make use of it, right?
There are ways to change the notes font as well. We will discuss that sometime later. Or, why don’t you suggest us in the comments section if you know how to do that?

I've been using Windows 7 Sticky Notes for several years now. Today I accidental deleted one of my sticky notes. If this happened to you, you may be able to recover your note using one of the following methods.
Make sure you've closed the Sticky Notes application before proceeding. You can do this by right clicking on the Sticky Note taskbar button and selecting Close Window.
- Undo -- If you simply deleted the text by accident and the Sticky Note window is STILL open, try pressing ctrl-z one or more times to undo your most recent changes. If you go too far back, press ctrl-y to redo the undos.
- Restore -- Sticky Notes are stored in the following file: C:Users<UserName>AppDataRoamingMicrosoftSticky NotesStickyNotes.snt. You'll need to replace <UserName>with your windows login username and you may need to enable the viewing of hidden files and folders to see the file.
- If you make regular backups, simply rename the current file and restore a recent version of the file from your backups.
- Otherwise, right-click on the file and select 'Restore previous versions'. If your lucky, Windows will have made a backup of the file for you if you or it created a restore point. These are (often?) created when Windows applies updates.
