Windows – How to remove Windows Sticky Notes from start up with boot

sidebarwindows 7

I want to prevent windows sticky notes from starting with Windows. I don't use those anymore, but couldn't find where to remove them from boot.

Best Answer

I struggled hard to uninstall it, couldn't, but then, hey! it's maybe not necessary to do so. StickyNotes will always start if it is pinned to the taskbar even if you disabled it in msconfig Startup and MS will not let you uninstall it. I left it on the taskbar because I actually use it, I just don't want it starting and filling the desktop with unnecessary stuff every morning. After all that angst I just unpinned it from taskbar, disabled it in configsys Startup list and, because I actually need those notes sometimes I placed a shortcut on the desktop (NOT in the task bar). Now it does not start on start-up and it is still there when it's needed. Please MS, put a "Run on start-up" option on it and all will be fine.
