Yellow Notes - on your desktop, instead of your monitor

friso
just a short tutorial, if you are sick of those yellow post-its on your monitor saying: 'get milk' 'post new tutorial' and so on. you only need outlook.
you don't have to save every time you exit it, it will do so automatically, and it opens fast.
this is what you do:

- Start Outlook
- Click File > New > Note
- Go to Personal folders > Notes
**Right click on the note now to change the color**
- Minimize everything but Outlook, and drag the note to your desktop
- Change the name & make some random content
- You are done!

It will look like this:

OR you could use a text file on your desktop that you use to write your notes on.

OR keep a small notebook to write things on next to your computer.

BUT, nice idea anyway tongue.gif

yes, but a text file asks you to save each time you use it, and you can't copy-paste stuff or urls into a notepad you got lying next to your computer. smile.gif

That about the notepad is true.

But the file shouldn't be any problem of asking of saving. But that is not the point anyway.
