Thoughts on Sticky Notes
Sticky Notes. I love how simple and useful they are. They would be even better if there were the option of grouping the notes. This could be achieved by adding a minimalistic context menu accessible by right clicking the upper pane area of each note. Options could be made for: "define group," "add to group," and "ungroup." Then a small minimize button could be added to the upper pane area next to the "close" button - or in the center. That way, notes/groups could show as different instances on the taskbar icon and certain "groups" could be hidden/minimized - while leaving others available in the foreground. Also, a jump list could be added for "restore all active notes." However, just giving an additional option on each note to enable closing/hiding of that particular note, (w/o having to close other notes, or lose the information on the note), would also increase it's functionality tremendously for me personally. Still, adding the simple grouping option would make my day the most. Any way we may be able to get this functionality?

Sticky notes behave like an application. It appears in the task bar with no way to hide it, and will completely disappear with no saving when closed. I preferred them as a gadget (which it more so is).When sticky notes app is closed, the open notes need to be saved. That's why they're there I assumed.I do however love everything else, I had a few latched to the top of my desktop for a while but seeing them in the taskbar all the time and the fact that accidently closing it causes them to go forever... for some reason or another was annoying.

When I close my sticky notes and then reopen, the notes I created are still there.

If you close the Sticky Notes application, all notes currently open will be saved, and restored next time you open Sticky Notes. I know this.What I was wishing for was the ability to group certain notes together. So I could define three or four notes as "Work" then another five or six as "Errands", etc etc. That way I could minimize notes from a group I wasn't currently concerned with, without totally losing those notes. Minimized "groups" of notes would then appear as another "layer" "tab" on the taskbar for the sticky notes icon. (Just as any other taskbar icon [IE, Firefox, Explorer, etc] shows tabs when multiple windows of the same app are open. Essentially "groups" of sticky notes would act like different windows of the application...Anyone besides me think this would be useful?
