Digital post it..??

o you didnt did you! you dont know what you've done!!!!!!!!!

sorry im no help

i presume you mean the Vista sidebar notes?

C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Sidebar\Settings.ini will
contain the text entered in the Notes.

However, I don't think it retains the information if you either delete the
note page or close out the note gadget.

could you go back through your history and see if it attatched itself to a page?

Well i bet thats a bug no one thought to test for, pah useless software engineers ;)
try right clicking on desktop and selecting "undo move"

I've tried everything....(including pulling the hair....) if any one knows even a minor tip...please kindly post it.

if you can remember any text in the note try searching your machine for files that include that text "", there may be a copy hidden in a cache somewhere

thanks guys for all your help but looks as though.. "i'm up the....without a peddle"!
