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.

Full uninstall of stickynotes left this Enabled in startup
Key – HKCU:Run
Program- RESTART_STICKY_NOTES
File – C:\Users\[user]\Downloads\stickynotes\x64\Sticky Notes\StikyNot.exe
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:
