Just a simple form of Windows 10 Sticky Notes without the annoying stuff like being an open window in the taskbar and popups.
I wanted a sticky pad that was just for text and no links but more importantly, I hated seeing that icon as an open window in the taskbar.
-
You can still have the icon in the taskbar and it will open the window but doesn't show as an active window
-
if StickyPad is alreay open then it will bring it to the front.
-
It does not sync and is not encrypted or anything. Just a simple StickyPad. Settings and text is stored in "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\xCONFLiCTiONx\StickyPad"
-
The text saves as soon as you move your mouse cursor off the StickyPad so that it isn't lost if Windows crashes or something, and also saves when closing.
-
The second tab is there if you want to hide tab 1 when others enter the room or if you want to store links that you don't want to view on tab 1 or whatever you like.
-
Copy the files to a location of your choice such as "%ProgramFiles%\StickyPad"
-
Create a shortcut to StickyPad.exe (right click > Send to > Desktop (create shortcut))
Optional (recommended)
Copy the shortcut that is on the desktop to:
-
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup"
-
"%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
-
Pin the shortcut to the taskbar
-
delete the shortcut on the desktop
