Notes gadget in Windows 7

Question

Hello

I have just installed Windows 7. There is this "Sticky Notes" programme built in, but I miss the "Notes" gadget from Vista (looks like a post-it)!

Does anybody know if I can download the notes gadget for Windows 7? Alternatively I have found the files that make up the gadget from Vista. Perhaps anybody can convert them to a gadget that will work in Windows 7. The files are here: people.civil.aau.dk/~jenor/Notes.Gadget.rar

Thanks in advance!

Hey there jenor,

 

I know how you feel about the look and feel of the NEW 'Windows 7 Sticky Notes'.... and I myself much preferred the look of the older vista sidebar gadget... I have found exactly what you are looking for HERE - ENJOY!

Just go to the start button, and in the "search programs and files" box, type "sticky" without the quotes..

I finally found a replacement. :) Below is the notes gadget from the Vista sidebar converted into a Windows 7 gadget:

It's pretty weird that Microsoft replaced the sticky notes gadget from Vista with a less configurable sticky notes application in Windows 7.

Answer 7

I found a program that is named SideNotes but after installing it I run into a problem described here on the Gallery items discussions on the Gallery Board
