Sticky Notes - portable app with read only content, or adjust built-in Windows StickyNot to make it read only or to prevent creating new notes
Hi,
Does anyone know any Sticky Notes kind of application where its content/text can be made read-only? Preferably that application would be portable or in msi format and easily deployed to domain joined computers.
Alternatively does anyone has idea how to adjust built-in Windows C:\Windows\System32\Sticky
See screenshot in attachment.
I was able to prevent closing notes on x sign by adding Monochrome (1-bit) image of heightxwidth of 8x8 using ResEdit to StickyNot, but cannot find a way to block "+" sign.
Thanks in advance,
Bruce

You can't make silk purse out of sows ear. if you remove the add option how are you going to get data into stickynote in the first place. You could create a windows application that reads from a network share that displays information from a central file very easily.

Data will be added by copying appropriate StickyNotes.snt into C:\Users\some_user\AppData
Background for this query was request to provide read-only "posting" at predefined part of the Desktop screen.
Creating windows application is always an option considering that I could get a budget for development tools, and time to go through testing at various resolutions, operating systems, app positioning and size, colors etc.
Hence my question about "quick fix" for built-in Sticky or getting info about similar "desktop" posting app that may already have this "read-only content option.

Suggested software development was unfortunately out of the scope of the question. After "googling" and trying out quite a few application, did found and implemented relatively satisfactory solution.
