We often note down our tasks and deadlines at certain places. It really helps to get reminders for these deadlines beforehand so we stay on track.

This post will tell you how you can schedule a reminder message to pop-up on your desktop along with the task, using the Task Scheduler and an alternative app- Notezilla sticky notes for Windows.

What is Notezilla?

With sticky notes, you hardly have to put effort to take notes, set reminders, etc. Quickly jot down & move on with your task at hand.

Windows Task Scheduler

Windows task scheduler is a free tool to create and run tasks and is inbuilt in your Windows PC. With this, you can start a program, run commands and execute scripts at a specific time.

Reminder messages using Notezilla

Reminders is one of the most used feature of Notezilla. Here are the steps to set reminder alarms:

1. Create a Notezilla sticky note.

2. To set a reminder, right-click on the note title or note toolbar and choose Due Date from the menu. For faster access, press the shortcut key Ctrl+R. Add a reminder to this sticky note.

3. Click OK. The reminder alarm will pop-up at the specified time . You can also set the reminder to repeat at your desired time.

Tip: You can also run a program automatically at a specific time through these reminders.

Reminder message using Task Scheduler

1.Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ in the Windows search bar and open it.

2. Under the ‘Actions’ section, choose ‘ Create Basic Task’.

3. Give your task a name and a description(optional) and click Next.

4. Choose the Trigger frequency. This basically means choosing when you want to start the task. Here, you can also choose to set repeat trigger. Click Next.

5. Choose the action you wish to perform. In this case, it is ‘Display a message (deprecated)’.

6. Click on Finish and you are all set.

Conclusion

Before using the Task Scheduler, you should note that the ‘Display a message’ is a deprecated feature. Which means, it may or may not function because it is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Notezilla on the other hand is quick, easy and reliable. All the options are under a single window so it’s very easy to configure and edit later, unlike the Task Scheduler.

Here’s another cool thing you can do with Notezilla- schedule a reminder to pop-up at startup. When you switch on your system, the program will launch.

Although there’s no direct option for this, we do have a simple hack. Just set the reminder time for the sticky note to midnight. So when you turn on your PC in the morning, the reminder will immediately pop-up showing the note.

So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!

The best part of Notezilla is that it can sync notes between your mobile and PC or laptop! Therefore, you have the reminders even on your phone and via email.

Go download it from the Play store or app store today and sync all your sticky notes with the Windows version of Notezilla.

When i start my work for the day, i first check my schedule and update tasks so that i don’t miss any important deadline.

I earlier used to note them down in a document. Then i started using the Task Scheduler which is inbuilt in the Windows PC and is actually free. But eventually i moved to Notezilla sticky notes for getting reminders on my desktop.

Why? I’ll not answer it directly. Let me first explain the steps to configure both of these apps and then give the answer.

What is Notezilla?

Notezilla is a professional, elegant & highly rated sticky notes app for Windows & Phones (Android, iOS, iPhone, iPad etc). You can also access your sticky notes from a Mac.

• Markdown support
• Send notes over local network (LAN) or across the globe

Set reminder to pop-up at startup using Notezilla

There is no particular option for this, but we do have an easy workaround.

1. Create a Notezilla sticky note.

2. Add a reminder to this sticky note. Set the reminder time to midnight and click OK.

3. You can also set the reminder to repeat at the specific time like everyday or first Monday of the Month etc.

Note: If you want to configure it to start when you log-in to your system, just mention a time when your system will be switched off. When you log-in later, the reminder will launch.

Set reminder to pop-up at startup using Task Scheduler

1.Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ in the Windows search bar and open it.

2. Under the ‘Actions’ section, choose ‘ Create Basic Task’.

3. Give your task a name and a description(optional) and click Next.

4. Choose the Trigger frequency. This basically means choosing when you want to start the task. Here, you can also choose to set repeat trigger. Click Next.

5. Choose the action you wish to perform at the set time. Here we will select ‘Display a message (deprecated)’. Click Next.

6. Type the message you want to be displayed on the desktop screen and click Next.

6. Click on Finish and you are all set.

Final Verdict

Now coming back to the question as to why i chose Notezilla. Two main reasons.

One. The reminder feature is deprecated. Meaning, it may or may not function because it is no longer supported by Microsoft. So it is a risk to trust in it.

Two. The Task Scheduler takes a lot of time and effort to configure due to the multiple steps and Windows.

Notezilla solves both the above issues since it works perfectly without errors and is also easy to configure with very minimal steps.

So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!

We sometimes run certain programs frequently on a regular basis. Opening them again and again consumes a lot of time and efforts. This is why scheduling these apps to run automatically at specific intervals is a good idea.

But how? Not every app offers this option and even it did, how many apps can you take time and effort to go and configure. It would be good if you could use one single app to configure this.

There are many apps out there that let you do this. I tried the Task Scheduler which is inbuilt in our Windows PC and is free. But i soon gave it up and decided to use Notezilla sticky notes app for Windows.

Why? Let me show you the steps for both of these and you will understand.

Running apps automatically at specific intervals using Notezilla

There is no exclusive option in Notezilla to do this but you can quickly configure it using the reminder feature of Notezilla sticky notes.

Following are the steps to follow:

1. Create a Notezilla sticky note.

2. Add a reminder to this sticky note. Set the repeat frequency for the reminder. You can customize the repeat using the options given.

3. Go the the Advanced tab of this reminder window and choose the option ‘Launch program, document or website.’

4. Type the program name or browse and choose the program and click OK.

5. The reminder alarm will pop-up at the specified time and the program will also launch along with it. Since it’s a repeat reminder, the program will launch at specific intervals.

Using the Task Scheduler

1.Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ in the Windows search bar and open it.

2. Under the ‘Actions’ section, choose ‘ Create Basic Task’.

3. Give your task a name and a description(optional) and click Next.

4. Choose the Trigger frequency. This basically means choosing when you want to start the task. Here, you can also choose to set repeat trigger. Click Next.

5. Type or browse the program you wish to launch and click Next.

6. Click on Finish and you are all set.

Our Verdict

Looking at the steps you can judge that Task Scheduler is quite complicated with multiple windows and options to configure. Whereas Notezilla is quite simple and easy. You can configure it within a few seconds and move on with your work.

Here’s another cool thing you can do with Notezilla- schedule a program to run at startup. When you switch on your system, the program will launch.

Although there’s no direct option for this, we do have a simple hack. Just set the reminder time for the sticky note to midnight. So when you turn on your PC in the morning, the reminder will immediately pop-up along with the specified program.

Thank you for reading till the end :)

Many of us have the habit of checking our calendar every morning before starting our work for the day. We check our schedules and deadlines.

While this is a nice thing to do, do we realize how much much time are we spending on adding these reminders, opening the calendar again and again and keeping track of these deadlines?

You must be wondering, what else can i do? There seems to be no other easy way.

Well, there is. A really easy and fast way. All you have to do is schedule the reminders to pop-up automatically at the scheduled time. How? Using the Notezilla sticky notes app for Windows.

Again, you might ask why do i need to create sticky notes for tasks when i can just schedule the calendar to open whenever i start my PC. There are many apps that let you configure this. In fact, there’s one inbuilt in our Windows PC and is also free- the Task Scheduler.

Let me show you the steps for both these apps to make it more clear.

Scheduling reminder pop-up at specific time using Notezilla

Setting reminders is the core part of Notezilla.

1. Create a Notezilla sticky note.

2. To set a reminder, right-click on the note title or note toolbar and choose Due Date from the menu. For faster access, press the shortcut key Ctrl+R. Add a reminder to this sticky note.

3. Click OK. The reminder alarm will pop-up at the specified time . You can also set the reminder to repeat at your desired time.

6. Click on Finish and you are all set.

To Conclude:

Although the Task Scheduler offers the feature to display a message at specific time or regular intervals, it is a deprecated feature. That means it may or may not function because it is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Even if you still choose to go with it, it has many windows and multiple steps to set up which my take even more of your time and efforts.

Notezilla is therefore more reliable and easy to configure. You create a note, set a reminder and move on with your work. You don’t have to worry about the notes cluttering your desktop, because you have the option to store them safely in folders called memoboards.

So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!

The best part of Notezilla is that it can sync notes between your mobile and PC or laptop! Therefore, you will get the reminders in your phone as well!

Everyday, when i switch on my PC to start with work for the day, i first check my calendar for deadlines and schedules. I then check my mailbox. Finally i begin with my work.

Doing this used to take a lot of my time as i had to launch these apps everyday and go access my content. But not anymore. I have now found an easy way to schedule these apps to run automatically when i start my system, using the Notezilla sticky notes app for Windows.

You can ask me why i chose a sticky notes app to do this and why not other apps that are specifically designed for this, like the Task Scheduler which is in fact free and inbuilt in your Windows PC.

By the end of this article, you will get the answer to your questions. I’ll show you how to do the above mentioned task using the Task Scheduler and Notezilla.

We all use certain programs as part of our routine work. We may also have specific work habits related to these apps. For example, someone might have the habit of taking a backup of all the work before breaking for lunch. Or someone would check their calendar the first thing after switching on their PC.

For programs like these, which we access regularly at a specific time, how about scheduling the app to automatically launch at that time.

This article will tell you how to run an app automatically at specific time using the Task Scheduler and an alternative app- Notezilla sticky notes for Windows.

Windows Task Scheduler

Windows task scheduler is a free tool to create and run tasks and is inbuilt in your Windows PC. With this, you can start a program, run commands and execute scripts at a specific time.

Now let us see the steps for both of them.

Using Notezilla

Although Notezilla is a sticky notes app, it can do a lot more than you can imagine. You can schedule to launch any app at a specific time, indirectly, even though not directly.

1. Create a Notezilla sticky note.

2. Add a reminder to this sticky note.

3. Go the the Advanced tab of this reminder window and choose the option ‘Launch program, document or website.’

4. Type the program name or browse and choose the program and click OK.

5. The reminder alarm will pop-up at the specified time and the program will also launch along with it.

Using the Task Scheduler

1.Search for ‘Task Scheduler’ in the Windows search bar and open it.

2. Under the ‘Actions’ section, choose ‘ Create Basic Task’.

3. Give your task a name and a description(optional) and click Next.

4. Choose the Trigger frequency. This basically means choosing when you want to start the task. Here, you can also choose to set repeat trigger. Click Next.

5. Type or browse the program you wish to launch and click Next.

6. Click on Finish and you are all set.

Our Verdict

Although the Task Scheduler is free and inbuilt in your system, most people aren’t even aware of its existence. It has many windows and multiple steps to configure a task, making it confusing and time consuming.

Notezilla on the other hand is simple and quick to configure under one single window. You might say that how many notes do i keep creating for the multiple programs. And won’t it clutter my desktop unnecessarily?

Well, Notezilla has a memoboard system wherein you can store your sticky notes in different folders.

Here’s another cool thing you can do with Notezilla- schedule a program to run at startup. When you switch on your system, the program will launch.

Although there’s no direct option for this, we do have a simple hack. Just set the reminder time for the sticky note to midnight. So when you turn on your PC in the morning, the reminder will immediately pop-up along with the specified program.

So how about giving it a try today. It’s free and also perfectly boosts your productivity by saving your time and efforts!
