If you are a frequent sticky notes user, you might want to quickly add a sticky note without much hassle.
Here is a way to do so using the right click ‘context menu’. All you need to do is add the corresponding entry in the registry editor. This method was tested on Windows 7.
Just copy the following code into a text file and save it as .reg file ,you name it whatever you wish .
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New StickyNote] "Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\StikyNot.exe" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New StickyNote\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\StikyNot.exe"
To remove this option, copy the code below into another file with the extension ‘.reg‘ and run itWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New StickyNote] "Icon"="C:\\Windows\\System32\\StikyNot.exe" [-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\New StickyNote\command] @="C:\\Windows\\System32\\StikyNot.exe"
