A monitor filled with stickers is a common thing for many users. If a person spends the lion's share of time in front of a computer, it is only natural that he places reminders right at the workplace. However, starting with Windows 10, such notes can be made directly on the PC using the standard built-in service. The Notes program on the Windows 10 desktop allows you to create an unlimited number of notes, edit them, format text, create lists or express notes. Such a service is convenient and easy to use, but poorly in demand due to the fact that it is almost unknown.
How to find the “Notes” service?
You can create a note on the Windows 10 desktop through the service by launching it through the “Start” button, which in the 10th version of the OS acquired the appearance of the company logo. In the start menu, you need to find the "Standard" category in the "Programs" subdirectory, there will be the "Notes" service. In later versions of Windows 10, the program changed its name to Sticky Notes and is now located in the root directory of the Start menu. In any case, when you click on the program icon on the desktop, a yellow sticker will appear, after filling in the number of notes, you can multiply and format the information.
Application functionality
The user can change the size and color of the sticker, for this you need to drag the edge of the note or select the appropriate item in the menu on the right mouse button. In later versions of "Notes" on the Windows 10 desktop received a toolbar on which all the functions are collected. But some users continue to use the hot keys, because it is faster and easier. Some scrapbook Hotkeys were taken over from Microsoft Office. So, for example, highlighting in bold can be done by pressing Ctrl + B, in italics - Ctrl + I. In order to create a bulleted list, you need to press Ctrl + Shift + L.
A sticker can be removed if it has already lost its relevance. After the stickers are removed, the application needs to be restarted, otherwise the service simply closes. You can close the service by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + D. Notes on the Windows 10 desktop appeared just a few versions of the OS back, but have already established themselves as a popular service, which is why their updating does not stop. A relatively simple and affordable program turned out to be very useful, so its functionality is expanding.
Analogs on the Internet
There are many variations of the Notes program available online. Often they differ from the original by the presence of more extensive customization and authoring functions, for example, grouping the same stickers into separate subcategories. Third-party services are limited by these innovations, so changing a simple and understandable licensed copy to something new is unproductive. Most analogues use the original version of Windows to one degree or another as a basis. The names of the programs also do not differ in variability, most of them revolve around the “stickers”, so it’s easy to find them.
Is it possible to use stickers as an analogue of ordinary notes? Yes, quite, the service allows you to create reminders where the person works, that is, right on the computer. The user can access their sorting, ranking and customization, which is difficult to do with ordinary notes, in addition, notes on the computer do not create a mess and chaos on a real desktop.
