I use my Windows 7 sticky notes pinned to my bottom tray. Lately after my pc restarts the sticky notes icon disappears from my bottom tray. Usually I find the icon in the accessories category & I just re-execute it & repin it to the bottom tray. But after my last recycle of the pc, sticky notes is not even found under the accessories area. I've tried doing a search & a sticky notes file is found, but it cannot be opened. I do like using sticky notes.
What I'd like is for a program that normally appears in the system tray to show in the taskbar at all times it is running so i can easily see it and use the exit functions etc.Specifically for Steam - (X) minimizes to system tray and hides activity in the task bar. I don't mind if this results in 2 icons showing (1 for an active window and 1 for the process) I know you can do the same from system tray for this particular program, but I just don't have the habit to look there for anything other than system background applications.'m running Windows 7 Professional x64 and am comfortable tinkering with registry and system files if needed.So the questions are:1/ Can a system tray icon be permanently moved to the taskbar applications area?2/ If not, can a background process be assigned a taskbar icon when active?
New computer running Windows 7. I was delighted to discover sticky notes in the gadgets bit, started using it sucssfully then all of a sudden they are gone! No longer show under gadgets and they are not on my desktop any more. Anyone out there have a clue what's gone wrong and how do i get them back,
I accidently deleted my sticky notes shortcut from the start menu. I'm not sure where these things are actually stored, so if anyone can point me in the right direction or if you happen to know where it is, I'd appreciate the help...file explorer search reveals nothing, as I expect it's labled something else...
Usually, upon restarting, Sticky Notes has erased what was on them. It asks me to approve it in Start Up, and I do, but I don't see anything in msconfig startup that looks like Sticky Notes.
Whenever I finish using sticky notes and I try to close it, it doesn't closeThere's always the Windows Ding sound and I can only close it from task manager.
I installed Windows 7 on all of my pc's a week or so ago, and everything works beautifully, except for one little annoying issue... (Actually there is two, but the other one I will adress at the forum for that specific piece of software...)
On my desktop, "Sticky Notes" have a weird little "frame" around them...
If I move a "Sticky Note", the frame goes away...
- only to return a couple of seconds later.
I wondered if any of you had the same "problem", and if so - does anyone have a fix for this?
Really love the "Sticky Notes", but the "frame thing" is violating my Windows 7-eye-candy-experience.
It's a reinstall, since I don't believe in upgrades...
It's Windows 7 Ultimate x64...
All drivers is up-to-date...
I don't use/install "ancient software"...
Any other questions you might have, I will do my best to answer them if needed.
Can´t find a answer so decided to make this post. Using Sticky Notes on Win 7 is really nice, but sometimes I would use my tablet to write/draw manually to a note.
The problem is if I make any mistake or just want to delete, erase, part of what I wrote its no possible (i think).
I can at any time delete/modify etc my text but not what I drawn. The only way I found was delete the note and start over. There is anyway to get around this?
I installed Windows 7 7260 32bit and everything works fine. But when i want to use my favourite gadget sticky notes... there is no sticky notes in gadget gallery, i dont know why. Can anyone who using this build tell me if he had the same problem?
Mostly just speaking to myself, but it'd be awesome if the sticky notes included in the os were networkable. So you could throw sticky notes to other seven machines on your network.
I know there's a couple of programs that do it, but blah to installing a bunch of programs on different computers just for virtual post its, lol.
I love the Sticky Notes application. But it get's really annoying when I over over the Show Desktop button, I only see my gadgets! Sticky Notes gets hidden because Windows sees it as an application and not a gadget (which is right).
The font of 'Sticky Notes' of my win 7 pro (32 bit ver) is the pretty handwriting When the OS is freshly installed, but when I finished several updates and installed some drivers, I noticed that the font changed to something looked like tahoma. I don't know what happened.
What confused me more is that, since I didn't exit Stick Notes when I was updating the OS and installing drivers, the font of the 'Old' Notes that already stuck to the desktop kept a handwriting style, but the newly opened notes have a font similar with Tahoma.
I tried Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V and found this could keep the original format of the fonts. So It looks really funny now.
BUT I want the pretty handwriting font back! Any suggestions?
how I have lost these programs on my computer and can not find them. They are not in the start programs, and I tried a search and did not find them. I thought that they were useful tools and did not consciously remove them. Any ideas of how I can get them back?
I searched for this query and got 0 responses from search. I'm looking to keep my sticky notes synced between multiple computers.Windows 7 - How to sync notes created from Sticky Notes so as to reuse them among different PCs?
I've got four sticky notes that I'm currently modifying. One of them, I deleted a large amount of text from it. When I turned my computer on today, the old version was there as well. I tried to delete it, but my computer is treating it like it's a part of the desktop background and not a note. Two of the other notes are doing the same thing. When I reopen the Sticky Notes gadget my newer versions open too, but on top of the others. I can't move the others, delete them, anything.
My laptop is less than a week old, with a 6GB RAM, 750GB hard drive, and 2.5GHz + Turbo processor, so I'm pretty sure it's not the problem. I just installed a new video editing software (Corel VideoStudio Pro X4)
I'd love to find either a 'Sticky Note' utility, or any way to enable typing directly to the screen. Don't want to see a frame or title bar, just my typed notes
but I've lost the content in the database file of my notes in Sticky Notes 7. !
Is there a possible way to recover this? I have 8 database files, which all containing almost the same content.
I think the problem is because i have stored the database file in Google Drive, and i did not activate the synchronizing option in Sticky Notes 7. So when i was editing on my workstation computer, and came home to my laptop. The content was still the same. To day, when i was going to my workstation computer, it is the same content as my laptop. The content which I've been written last week is totally gone!
I've tried in the recycle bin function in Sticky Notes 7, but there was nothing. I know I've done some stupid things. Cause i didn't active the sync.
Also, when i want new content in my note, i just delete the existing content, and add some new. I'm not saving the database files in weeks, or months or so on (to keep control over the files) I will do that in the future!
Move Live Messenger Icon to the System Tray in Windows 7. If you've made the switch to Windows 7 and use Windows Live Messenger, you might have noticed the icon stays in the new Taskbar. If you are annoyed by this and would rather see it in the System Tray (notification area), just follow this simple process. Show Messenger Icon in Notification Area. When you close out or minimize Messenger it will reside in the new Taskbar. [URL]. To make it act like it did in previous versions of Windows, right-click on the Windows Live Messenger icon and go to Properties.
In the example above I created an icon on the desktop but you can also do the same thing with the icon in the start menu. Then go to the Compatibility tab and run it in Windows Vista compatibility mode. The icon might be hidden in the notification area though. You just need to customize the Notification Area Icons and have it Show icon and notifications. [URL]. Thats it! Now you have your Messenger icon back where it used to be. [URL].
This is one of those things that could be worded in so many ways, there may be a solution out there but I have no idea what phrasing may have been used in such a case. Basically, I recently switched to using a vertical taskbar on the left side, more workable area on widescreen monitors. I love it so far, except for the change in system tray behavior. They're doubled up, which is fine, but if I have an odd number of icons it disturbs my general arrangement. This is hugely annoying for me as I frequently use the system tray to open multiple applications I always have open in the background, such as IRC or AIM.
