Where Sticky Notes are Stored. Isabel Berney needs to know where Windows stores the Sticky Notes she creates, so she can make sure they're backed up. Microsoft added Sticky Notes with Vista, and changed them entirely with Windows 7. In Vista, you can write longhand sticky notes with a mouse or pointer, or record them with a microphone, but you can't actually type them with a keyboard.

Windows 7 does it the other way around. But both versions save the notes in a file called StickyNotes.snt, located in the C:\Users\login\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes folder. (When I write login, I mean the name you use to log into Windows.) So if you make a lot of notes, you should make sure that your backup routine includes that folder.

You cannot create an archive from which to rebuild your site without A LOT of work, if at all.

In my opinion, this makes typepad unusable. The wordpress.org site says they make backups. If you want to make sure that your wordpress blog is archived, you need to put your blog on a hosted service provider that will backup your database and let you do an off-line backup.
