Windows 7 Sticky Notes is a neat, little application. But it is often difficult to find a note within it if you have many overlapped sticky notes on your desktop. I have now made a FREE program Sticky7List that saves all the sticky notes in a WhizFolder file. Once you do that, you get all the power of WhizFolders to search, print or export these sticky notes.

I have just released a new Textual Calendar 2012 for use with WhizFolders.

Download: You can download it from the following link. Read the important note on downloading below.

Calendar2012.wzfolder

Important note on downloading: Sometimes, the browser downloads and marks the file read only in the file system. In that case, WhizFolders opens it read-only and you can not modify the file. If you see a read-only label in WhizFolders after opening this file, please use Windows Explorer to see the right-click properties of this file and switch off the “read only” flag. Then open the file in WhizFolders again.

Many uses of this file: You can use this WhizFolder file as a calendar, diary, journal, events, tasks or for any free format note taking related to dates. Further, you can use it with any WhizFolders edition (even the trial). You can feel the power of WhizFolders hyperlinks and free format concept when you start using it. Please look at the tips in the “How to use” topic at the top of the file.

The idea for events file originally came from Steve Jarjoura who contributed the event files for earlier years. I am now generating the event file from a small utility that I made up. I have used some new features like icons and Popup links in the new file.

Using Dropbox to access your notes from many computers

April 15, 2011

Lately, many users have inquired about the ability to synchronize notes across many computers. WhizFolders has no in-built syncing features mainly because if it were to support syncing, it will need to drop many of the features related to Rich Text (RTF). The programs that support syncing have poor rich text features.
If we were to [...]
