Sticky Notes for Windows

leave a comment »

Allows you to place “sticky notes” on your desktop.

Keep sticky notes on your desktop for a variety of reminders and reference material.

For Mac users, enter search term “Desktop sticky notes for Mac”.  This is different software than that above for Windows, but I believe it serves the same purpose.
