Create an Outlook sticky note

I love sticky notes but not stuck all over my computer monitor. My computer desktop, that's another thing - Sticky notes there look so cute and they're so useful because they're right there where I can see them.

Outlook has a great sticky note feature. Simply type a quick reminder using an Outlook Note and you can 'stick' it on your desktop. Click the Notes icon in Outlook or choose File, New, Note and type the text for your note. Make the first line explanatory of the note's contents as this becomes its name so it's the first thing you see. When you're done, click the Note's Close button to finish.

Now drag and drop the Note onto your desktop - it will stay there and remain accessible even when Outlook isn't open. To view the Note's contents, simply double click it.
