After you run the sticky notes app – Notezilla, you will find that it creates an icon inside the notification area. Windows, by default hides this icon inside an expandable panel. If you click on the small triangle in the notification area (also called system tray), you will see the Notezilla icon. See picture below:

Since the only way to access Notezilla features is through this icon (except for the hotkeys), it would be more convenient to tell Windows always to show this icon so that you don’t have to use the expandable panel each time.

Here is how you would do this.

Step 1: Click on Customize link shown in the expandable panel (see picture above).

Once you choose ‘Customize,’ you will see the below window allowing you to configure how each tray icon should behave. Click on the below picture to see the full view.

Step 2: Find Notezilla in the list, select ‘Show icon and notifications’ option for Notezilla & press OK.

You will now notice that the Notezilla icon always shows up in the notification area.

Making this small change will ease your access to Notezilla’s features.

Sending a sticky note directly to a computer over LAN

The following video will help you understand this better.

To send a sticky note to another computer over the local network (LAN), you would use the Send To->Computer option from the sticky note menu (click on the top left button on a sticky note for the menu).

Instead of the computer name, you may also specify the IP address of the computer. Both would work.

In Notezilla, sticky notes sent over the network to another computer do not use the Internet. The data transfer happens over a local private network.

Another advantage of sending sticky notes directly to a PC is that the note reaches immediately on the other computer. However, the recipient computer must be in ON state, and Notezilla must be running on it to receive the sticky note.

How do i achieve this?

Setting this up is relatively simple.

1. Install Notezilla on every Windows PC that wishes to send & receive sticky notes.
2. To send a sticky note, go to the sticky note, click on the left top button and choose Send To->Computer.

Allow Notezilla through Windows Firewall

Make sure first to configure your PC firewall to allow the running of Notezilla. The firewall on the PC might sometimes not allow to send or receive notes.

You can search for a firewall in the Windows search box, and you will see “Allow an app through Windows Firewall.” Choose this option and enable Notezilla. If Notezilla is not listed, then click on ‘Allow another app’ and add Notezilla.

If you are using any other Firewall tool (usually included with Anti-Virus software), then you will have to configure that firewall.

Make sure you do this on both sending and receiving computer.

Sending a sticky note to a contact

On the other hand, sending sticky notes to a contact happens over the Internet.

In this case, it uses Notezilla.Net cloud to transfer your sticky note. The biggest advantage here is there you can send the sticky note to anyone across the globe.

It is not limited to just the local network. Plus, the other computer should not be in ON state to receive the sticky note. The recipient will receive the sticky note whenever he turns his PC ON. There are some more advantages. The recipient can read the note on his phone while on the move.

Also, he need not be a Notezilla user. If he does not use Notezilla, then he would receive the sticky note as an email in his mailbox.

How to achieve this?

1. Install Notezilla on every Windows PC that wishes to send & receive sticky notes.
2. To send a sticky note, go to the sticky note, click on the left top button and choose Send To->Contact. For the first time, you are required to create a Notezilla.Net account.
3. Once you setup your Notezilla.Net account, add your contacts & start sending sticky notes to them.
4. If the recipient wants to receive the sticky note right on his desktop, he would also have to keep Notezilla running on his computer with an active Notezilla.Net account.
5. The recipient will receive the sticky note on his desktop during the next automatic sync (currently it happens every 5 minutes).

Today we released Notezilla 8.0.19 with some useful features. This post will cover most important features. You can read the revision history for list of all features added & bugs fixed.

This update is free for all registered users of Notezilla 8.0.

Here is what’s added to the new update.

Sticky notes are automatically re-arranged on change of monitor display resolution

Notezilla 8.0 always remembered the position of sticky notes based on the display resolution. When the display resolution was changed, you would be required to restart Notezilla so that the desktop sticky notes re-position based on the new display resolution. From this update onwards, it is not necessary to restart Notezilla. It will automatically detect the change in display resolution and rearrange sticky notes accordingly.

So now, if you dock your laptop to a bigger display, you will see your sticky notes automatically arranged for your bigger screen.

Directly create sticky notes inside a specific memoboard instead of desktop

From this update onwards, you can create all sticky notes directly inside a memoboard instead of the Windows desktop. This way, you can avoid too many notes on the desktop. Once you create them inside the memoboard, you can selectively stick them to desktop if you wish.

Stick incoming sticky notes directly to the desktop

When someone sends you a sticky note over network or Internet, you can have it stick directly to the desktop and also make it stay on top of other apps.

Show “Created” date on top of sticky notes instead of “Modified” date

You can now show the note created date instead of note modified date next to the title of the sticky note.

Attach a sticky note to similar websites/docs/apps

This feature already existed in earlier versions. But in this update, we have made it more apparent. We have added an option to ‘Edit’ the title of the window when attaching a sticky note to any website, document, or program. If you add an asterisk (*) at the end of the window title, for example, Project Mars*, then the sticky note will appear on all windows having title beginning with ‘Project Mars.’ Similarly, you can also add an asterisk (*) at the beginning of the window title, for example: *Project Mars. It will match all windows having title ending with ‘Project Mars.’ The sticky note will show up on all such windows.

Watch this short video for more clarity:

On sync, new notes created from the phone are brought back to your desktop version of Notezilla. By default, they are created inside the Home memoboard.

What’s newly added now is that when creating a sticky note from the phone, you can ensure that it sticks to your Windows desktop also (not just the Home memoboard) during the next sync. So basically, when you get back to your PC, you will see the new notes (created from the phone) right on your Windows desktop. This option will help in reminding you of your stuff.

You can also insert and sync pictures in mobile apps and see them on your desktop.

If you haven’t synced your sticky notes yet from Notezilla 8, create a Notezilla.Net account today by right-clicking on the Notezilla icon on your PC. To know how to access them from your phone after sync, click here.

If you are still using older version of Notezilla, download Notezilla 8 today & see your notes on your phone. The new version will automatically migrate your notes. There is an upgrade discount too.

As you know, Internet banking websites do not let browsers to store the bank account numbers (or customer ids) and passwords on a local machine.

Each time, we need to type the complete customer id and password manually. It becomes complicated when we have to access multiple bank accounts.

How to solve this?

To easily access any bank information, I attach a sticky note (using Notezilla) on the bank’s website with all the required bank information from multiple accounts. Whenever I access the bank’s website, the sticky note pops up. This is very, very convenient. I copy the required info from the sticky note and paste it into the sign-in form.

Security concerns? The information inside a sticky note is stored locally on your system. It does not travel through the Internet even when you stick the note to the website. So you don’t have to worry about it at all.

Password Hints: Moreover, bank sites require you to change the password every few days. It is tough to remember the last password you had set. So I add password hints also into the sticky note for each account. Make sure your password hints are not very obvious :)

You may obscure the information in the sticky note to your satisfaction. Additionally, you can even lock the sticky note using Notezilla so that the data is encrypted on the local machine too.
