How to make sticky notes stay on desktop
The Stickies application on your Windows PC or Macintosh computer acts as virtual notes that remain on your monitor's screen to remind you of important information, and moves to the background of your desktop while other application windows are open. The notes can be configured to remain at the forefront by changing your note's preferences. The Sticky Notes application settings for Windows PCs are configurable if using Windows Vista, as the program's settings were removed in Windows 7.
