Windows – Where does Windows Vista’s Notes gadget store your notes

syncwindows-vista

I like to use the default notes gadget in Windows Vista, and I want to synchronize my notes between my PC and my laptop. I'm going to use Dropbox, so I just need to know where does the gadget store my notes. I looked inside the Appdata folder and couldn't find the actual notes (only configuration files). Where are they? They have to be stored somewhere, since they are saved even if you close the sidebar.

According to this article, it's in

%localappdata%\microsoft\windows sidebar\settings.ini

If I understand the question correctly and assuming you have a wireless router for DHCP . You right click on the My Computer and go to properties and put both systems in the same workgroup. Reboot and see if you can ping the two computers from each other.

I would also set up the two computers first connected without wireless confirming they can see each other. Then configure secure wireless

Windows – Laptop sleep: How to go into S3 easily

I know you've checked your BIOS already but double check again to be sure, keywords to look for are "S3", "Sleep", "Wakeup", and "Resume" in the Power Management option.

The only other thing I can think about is it might not go into S3 if you have a mouse or even a usb keyboard connected to it. I know you haven't specified in your question whether you did or didn't have a usb device plugged in but anyways you can read this microsoft article for a registry hack.

In short you'll just need to enter this registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usb
"USBBIOSx"=DWORD:00000000
