sticky-noteswindows 7
I want to synchronize the Windows 7 Sticky Notes file, notwithstanding Martha's excellent points in: How do I move Sticky Notes content to another computer.
On different machines %appdata% will point to different physical locations, so I want to move the location to a common one that I use to synchronize other stuff.
I had a quick look in the registry but couldn't see any pointers there.
Another half baked idea from Microsoft, you cannot keep them on top or tile them. You would need to look for a 3rd party sticky note application that has more features.
Not with the included Sticky Notes app, but it's possible with something like Stickies:
- Once on screen, stickies will remain where placed until closed, even through reboots
- Stickies appearance can be customised; fonts, colours and buttons may be changed, and styles saved. Stickies can be resized
- Stickies can store text or images
- Stickies can snap to each other and to the sides of the screen to keep them neatly lined up
- Stickies can be attached to a web site, document or folder so they only show when it's on screen
- Stickies can be transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network connection, or by using an SMTP mail server or MAPI client:
- Hierarchical friends list, which may be automatically transferred from other friends
- Play a sound file on receive
- Signature for transmitted or emailed stickies
- Favourite friends, and custom lists can be made
- Stickies can be hidden for a certain period, until a specified date and time, or to wake every day, week or month, to act as reminders
- Stickies can have alarms set to ensure you notice them at a point you choose
- International language, Unicode and RTL text support
- Stickies works with Windows Vista and Windows 7
- Stickies is small and simple, it writes to a single text file, and does not alter the registry
- AD network administrators can use Group Policy to control settings
- API to allow integration with other applications
- ...and Stickies is completely free!
As mentioned above, stickies can be attached to a web site, document, folder or basically any app window:

You can use the power of NTFS Symbolic Links!
These are filesystem-level shortcuts, in effect.
Use the
mklinktool in a cmd window to try it.Notes: dont use hardlink to make symlink to another drive (remove /H) its still worked
