Backing Up Sticky Notes In Windows 7 & 8

Sticky Notes are the helpful (and generally temporary) way to give yourself simple reminders. Like real sticky notes, we don't recommend keeping sensitive information on them as it is easy enough to accidentally delete their information.

Warning aside, there is a way to back up their information. Sticky Notes keeps all currently open notes in a single database file located in: 

C:\Users\{Username}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt

This file can be backed up and restored from this location in the event that something critical happened to be there. The only caveat is that Sticky Notes must have been launched one time prior so that the correct directories were created.

Happy computing!
