I’ve found myself using Windows sticky notes to jot down thoughts, ideas and lists.
\nThen I bought an Android phone and started using a sticky notes app to do the same.
\nAfter some time I found my notes fragmented and difficult to manage, then a friend suggested Google Keep.<\/p>\n
Google Keep is a note taking app for android phones, which works a charm. Though this still didn’t solve my problem.
\nI then decided to make the jump to the Chrome Browser where I can use the Google Keep browser app.
\nThis means I can open chrome and start the Keep app and have it sync with my phone. Nifty!<\/p>\n
But I was still not happy, as this removed some functionality form the Windows sticky notes, as they open on system logon.<\/p>\n
I set about to solve this and have a solution for you!<\/p>\n
1. install the Google Keep app for you phone and Chrome Browser. (links below)<\/p>\n
2. on your PC right click on the Keep app in the Chrome apps window > create shortcut > desktop.<\/p>\n
3. Now right click on that shortcut to Google Keep on you desktop > properties.<\/p>\n
4. copy the whole line of text from the target text-field ( Ctrl + A > Ctrl + C )<\/p>\n
5. start up Windows task scheduler > action > create basic task.<\/p>\n
6. Name it “start google keep”, click Next<\/p>\n
7. set the trigger to “When I Log on.”, click Next<\/p>\n
8. action “start a program”, click Next<\/p>\n
9. paste the text into the Text\/script text-field.<\/p>\n
10. click Next then Finish and you’re done!<\/p>\n
Once this is complete you can delete the shortcut from your Desktop.<\/p>\n
Google keep should now start when you log on and you can sync notes from you phone to you PC desktop with ease!<\/p>\n
