Take Notes… The Easy Way

You know those times where you’re diddling around on the computer and want to take a quick note? We all have and unfortunately those notes we make to ourselves can sometimes get lost in the loads of “new text document (*).txt”‘s found plentiful on our desktops.

After dealing with this lack of organization for some time, I “developed” (I use the term loosely) a quick windows solution to this that anyone can do with a few clicks. Check it out.

First: Open up explorer (windows key+e) and navigate to a directory of your choice.

Second: Create a folder called… say “My Toolbar”

Third: Create a text document named whatever you’d like (and optionally add shortcuts)

Fourth: Right click your task bar and select “Toolbars” then select “New Toolbar”

Fifth: Navigate to the folder you created

Sixth: Right click your new toolbar and uncheck “Show Text” and “Show Title”

Final Product:

I hope this helps you clean up your note taking

To make it even EASIER, you can set the txt file to a hotkey using the program WinKey I mentioned in a previous post. I set mine to windows+s
