How to take quick notes on the desktop

Thanks to our Windows computer, wasting paper in this way will radically end. Windows incorporates the 'Quick Notes' application, which allows us to easily pin notes to our desktop. As if that were not enough, the Windows Application Store also offers us a selection of applications that perfectly complement this Windows function.

Stick Notes in Windows

The Sticky Notes application is easily accessible, both in the applications menu of our Windows 8 system, and in the built-in search engine .

Its operation is as simple as it is effective: a note will appear on our desktop with a couple of top icons, one with a cross to create a new note, and another with an X to delete that same note.

We can also create a new note if we go to the application icon located on the taskbar and right-click about him. The option to create a new note will then appear.

We can paste, copy, delete or select the text included in it, as well as change the color of the note to differentiate it from others using the contextual menu that appears if we right-click on it.

Easy to create and practical in our busy day to day.
