The desktop of the computer is the place where the shortcuts of the desired programs are stored, various files and folders, access to which you need to make the most quickly as possible. On the desktop you can also hold "Reminders", short notes and other information necessary for work. This article is devoted to how to create such elements on the desktop.
Create a notebook on the desktop
In order to put items to store important information on the desktop, you can use both third-party programs and Windows tools. In the first case, we get a software that has many functions in our arsenal, in the second same - simple tools that allow you to start work right away, without searching and selecting a suitable program.Method 1: third-party software
Such programs include the analogues of the "native" system notepad. For example, NotePad ++, Akelpad and others. All of them are positioned as text editors and have different functions. Some are suitable for programmers, others - for the vertexes, the third - for editing and storing the simple text. The meaning of this method is that after installation, all programs are placed on the desktop their shortcut, with which the editor is started.
Now all text records will open in a convenient editor for you.
Method 2 System Tools
Windows system tools suitable for our purposes are presented in two options: standard "Notepad" and "Notes". The first is the simplest text editor, and the second is a digital analogue of adhesive stickers.
Notebook
Notepad - a small program supplied with Windows and is designed to edit texts. You can create a "Notepad" file on the desktop in two ways.
- Open the Start menu and in the search box write "Notepad".
We start the program, write the text, then press the Ctrl + S key combination (Save). As a place to save, select the desktop and give the file name.

- Click on any place of desktop with the right mouse button, reveal the "Create" submenu and select the "Text Document" item.
We give a new file name, after which you can open it, write text and save in the usual way. The location in this case does not need to choose.
Notes
This is another convenient embedded Windows function. It allows you to create small notes on the desktop, very similar to sticky stickers attached to the monitor or other surface, however, are also. To start working with the "Notes", you must in the search bar of the "Start" menu, dial the corresponding word.
Please note that in Windows 10 you will need to enter "Sticky Notes".
Stickers in the "dozen" have one difference - the ability to change the color sheet, which is very convenient.
If you seem inconvenient to access the Start menu every time, you can create a shortcut of the utility directly on the desktop for quick access.
- After entering the name in the Search by clicking the PCM on the program found, we reveal the "Send" menu and select the item "on the desktop".

In Windows 10, you can only place the application link to the taskbar or the start screen of the Start menu.
