Changing location of sticky notes file on Windows 7

You can use the power of NTFS Symbolic Links!

These are filesystem-level shortcuts, in effect.

Use the mklink tool in a cmd window to try it.

mklink /H "%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt" "C:\ommon\location\StickeyNotes.snt"

Notes: dont use hardlink to make symlink to another drive (remove /H) its still worked

I learned that using the Steam Mover application, the process of changing the location of Sticky Notes is much simpler and less error prone. If you do not like using the Command Prompt, then this application is so much better.

Also, you can read this guide showing how to use this app to move the location of Sticky Notes and also sync them with other users or computers. How to Sync Sticky Notes Across Users and Computers in 7 Steps.
