Hello, I wanted to let you know that following this procedure, when I click on the start bar and then on the arrow next to sticky notes, and then click on the New Task that shows up, I get an error… any ideas?
What type of error you got?
I used the stickynotes on october 2 2009 and it installed correctly.
i installed it again today after reformatting harddrive, and it is giving me an error.

I disabled this, rebooted, and then installed stickynotes again. Sticky Notes worked. I then went and Enabled that startup program again, rebooted again, and stickynotes works now.
Not sure what happened.
In case it helps someone…
I opened a command prompt in my c:users\ folder and tried to run the .cmd file from there which resulted in the “File not found” errors similar to klebs above.
I changed directory to the location where I unpacked the .zip contents (where the .cmd file was), and it worked great!
Thanks for this fix!
Just use one of these apps:
http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/
http://www.greeneclipse.com/stickypad.html
Both run fine and do their job .. so why use StickyNotes?
works fine for me … this rocks …
How to uninstall it? This x64 version does not compatible with my 32bit system
Did NOT work!
Thx for the GreenEclipse link…works great
make sure u guys search your registry for stikynot.exe to delete remaining entries
Stickies are great! Thanks for the comment.
Just to add, I have the same error as reported by Klebs in his first post. Sticky Notes appear to have installed successfully, but can’t be run.
Arris: Are you running a non-English version of Windows Server? In that case the .mui files should be placed in the correct folder manually (i.e. .nl-NL instead of .en-US for the Dutch locale). If that isn’t the case, what is the error message or don’t you get any message at all? You can also try figuring out what the problem is by monitoring using Sysinternals Process Monitor while starting the Sticky Notes application.
where is the file slc.dll you mention? I don’t find it your zip file and it doesn’t work for me. Stick note just doesn’t launch.
Arris: The slc.dll file is located in sticky_notes.zipx64Sticky Notes. Make sure the file isn’t for some reason removed by your antivirus software.
thanks. it helped me
Thank you !!!!!!
Its such a nice tool to keep track of whole day activity.
Thanks ALLOT
Installs and works like charm on my server 2008 r2.
However, one problem is you can’t start a new note from its jump list, and you can’t do it from its taskbar icon either.
I tried this on windows server 2012 and it did not work. I know this is for 2008 but I thought I would give it a shot. Don’t run on windows server 2012
Tried it on server 2012..

im using windows 32bit server 2008, and its not supporting, what to do?? thanks.
