Sticky Notes App Windows Server 2019

Let's be honest. Most server administrators don't need a GUI sticky note. They need a persistent command-line reminder that survives logoff/logon cycles.

The "Console Sticky Note" Script

Save the following as ServerNote.ps1 on your Windows Server 2019 desktop: sticky notes app windows server 2019

# Server Console Sticky Note - Creates a persistent text file on the desktop
$notePath = "$env:USERPROFILE\Desktop\_SERVER_NOTE.txt"
# Check if note exists, if not, create it
if (!(Test-Path $notePath))  Out-File $notePath
# Open the note in Notepad
notepad.exe $notePath

Place this script in your Startup folder (shell:startup). Every time you log in, Notepad opens with your server-specific sticky notes.

Why this beats a sticky notes app:

A yellow sticky note appears. Right-click the system tray icon (which looks like a sticky note stack) to create new notes, change colors, or open the note list.

In an RDS environment (Session-based or VDI): Let's be honest

Best Practice: Redirect AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStickyNotes* using FSLogix Profile Containers.

If you need serious note-taking across RDP sessions and multiple servers, Notezilla is the enterprise choice. Place this script in your Startup folder ( shell:startup )
