To minimise any notes you have, simply click on the sticky notes button in the task bar. If you don’t want to see this again, tick the 'Don’t Display This Message Again' check box before clicking Yes. Windows will ask you to confirm that you want to delete it. To move a sticky note, click and drag on the darker bar at the top of the note. To make more notes, simply click on plus (+) button in the top left corner of the note. To delete a note, click on the the X button in the top right corner of the note. You can also click and drag on the bottom right-hand corner of the note to resize it yourself. Note, that Windows automatically expands the note to accommodate your text. You can also do some basic formatting (Ctrl+B for bold, Ctrl+I for italics, and Ctrl+U for underline). Windows creates a new blank note on the desktop, with the cursor (the flashing line) at the beginning of the note ready for you to start typing. You can change the colour of the note by right clicking on it and choosing from the available colours.

In 'Accessories,' click on 'Sticky Notes.'.

Click on Start and go to 'All Programs.'.

You have to be running Windows 7 to have this feature. If you don’t have a pad of post-it notes on your desk but you need to make a quick note, you can create an onscreen reminder in a couple of ways.
