Windows Vista users might realize that the infamous Windows Sidebar “Note Gadget” could be useful because it helps users to store data in form of notes.
-
However, the display size of the note is limited. There is no function to export them into text files for other use too so this “gadget” is certainly not for heavy computer usage.
::: Solution :::
Flashnote is a software that stores information in text form which resides in Windows system tray.
It is resizable, consists of wide space where you can easily paste and store your quick notes, offers options for customizing the notes formatting and contains other important functions such as exporting your notes as database.
This freeware improves your productivity by making information copying/managing task easier. It consumes little memory (around 5MB); a good software especially for a slow computer.
As mentioned in their website:
Flashnote is NOT a personal information manager (PIM). Flashnote is NOT a substitute for Notepad or some other text editor. Flashnote is a fast rough copy utility that can be used any time during work process and without fear of damaging important data. You’ll find it a real help for your computer work.
I bet you’ll find it to be helpful in other type of works too as it did to mine. Try it out!

The question becomes whether to clutter the office with post-it notes or clutter your desktop with post-it notes.
