Eldmannen Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 "Free desktop notepad"? Care to elaborate? Windows comes with Notepad.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted March 8, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2006 ah now I get what you wanted. Well if you want actually sticky notes then you could use this: http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/SyncNotes/1099464888/1 (that just looked like the best one to me. Others might now of better ones.) But if you are trying to have a schedual it might just be better to use a callender app. I like the mozilla callendar a lot.(its called Sunbird) http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html Just searched the freeware thread and found this: Firenotes http://www.nazgulled.net/?lg=en&id=firenotes Looks pretty good too.

AndyManchesta Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 This may not be what your looking for as its not really a desktop notepad but I find KeyNote very handy, you can save any info into it including full webpages and it automatically saves when its closed, I have alot of written info on mine and find its alot better than searching for text files as I can organize them all into different sections inside Keynote. Its not being updated anymore as the Author has closed the project but its Open-Source so others may take it on and release updates. http://www.tranglos.com/free/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldmannen Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Maybe you need Sex. http://www.nullsoft.com/free/safesex/ lol, strange name, heh but its a note thing software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 9, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2006 That is a strange name for a program, good thing you explained what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah, Sex and SafeSex are two software developed by Nullsoft, the guys who brought you Winamp, SHOUTcast, WASTE etc. http://www.nullsoft.com/free/sex/ http://www.nullsoft.com/free/safesex/ SafeSex is like Sex, but it uses Blowfish encryption. Sex sits in the systray, you click on it and a note comes up where you can write stuff. Sex comes with source code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soybean Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I was thinking of something like a note page that would sit on my desktop and I could place notes or reminders to myself. Got Outlook? It has Notes, and they can be placed on the desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
