Where Windows 7 Sticky Notes Are Saved, Stored

Avid readers of this blog (me!) will know that I like Windows 7's Sticky Notes. It works and it's quick. There are many Sticky Notes shortcuts that most people don't know about also, which I wrote a blog post on a while back.

Now, another thing I wanted to discover was, "Where are Windows 7 Sticky Notes Saved?" The answer follows.

C:\Users\Dan2012\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes

Just change Dan2012 with your own username and you will find a SNT file that can be read for the most part with Notepad++. I didn't check any other text editors.

PS - I hear that Windows Vista Sticky Notes are also stored in the same place.

Sticky Notes Shortcuts You Didn't Know

The desktop application I am talking about today is Sticky Notes that comes standard in Windows.

I used to think that Sticky Notes was a featureless program. But, one day I decided to try out some formatting shortcut keys that I typically use in other Windows products. So, then I discovered that the application supports Ctrl+b for bold, Ctrl+e for aligning text to center, Ctrl+Shift+> for increasing text size, and more. This has made Sticky Notes much more useful than before.

I used to think that just writing on paper was the quickest way to keep notes and a todo list. But now, for efficiency, I use just one large Sticky Note on my desktop. This has the added benefit of not having to throw away physical paper.

List of hidden Sticky Notes shortcuts:

Bold	Ctrl+b
Italic	Ctrl+i
Underline	Ctrl+u
Strikethrough	Ctrl+t
Decrease Font Size	Ctrl+Shift+<
Increase Font Size	Ctrl+Shift+>
Align Text Left	Ctrl+l
Align Text Right	Ctrl+r
Bullet/Numbered Lists	Ctrl+Shift+L
Subscript	Ctrl+=
Superscript	Ctrl+Shift+=

I'd like the chance to answer any questions.
