Notes gadget max out at 10 notes!! :..( pls increase....

When something's good, you want more right...well the only reason I could
imagine that the Notes gadget which comes with Vista maxes out at 10 would be
so that the notes get done, thus making room for new objectives, clever ahy.

But I still want more than 10 notes, how about 100... and an export/backup
option for v2--don't fancy loosing 100 things to do!

Can anyone confirm a v2 for Notes or if there is a workaround.

As I have said, most free gadgets will be dangerous or useless.

Many companies will create good useful gadgets. Some will charge for them
and pay for the development effort by those charges. Some companies will
give them away for free and pay for the development charges by including
spyware - very dangerous spyware because gadgets use full install programs
and have full access to your file system. Even worse, other companies will
do both.

And, before the flames start, some will be free from people who just do it
for fun.

The last category, the spyware-free loss-leader gadget, will be hamstrung
with limits like the Notes gadget and will only be there to tempt you into
the one that you pay for or the one with embedded spyware.

You can do it, but it isn't simple to do.

You basically open up the file "notes.js" in notepad, located in this folder

C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-g..ickynotes.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6000.16386_en-us_582f4865c6d7ffb7

Look for the line

var maxNumberNotes = 10;

and change it to

var maxNumberNotes = 100; or however many you want.

The tricky bit is then saving it, which involves modifying security
permissions on the file, and taking ownership of the file, etc.
via Right-click file > Properties > Security (as an administrator)

 

Thanks very much, simple really. The hardest things was getting past
security, jeus!
