ThatGuyJeff 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Like many Evernote users, I use it constantly to store quick notes, but entering them is anything but "quick". Entering new notes requires either opening the program and clicking new note or clicking on the tray icon and choosing new note. What I want is a little helper application for the desktop. When you launch this application, presumbly from the Windows taskbar, a window pops up with a text area. It won't ask for notebook (that will be set once in configuration), and the entry will be plain text. Basically it's like a "sticky notes" kind of application. Link to comment

ThatGuyJeff 1 Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 That's good to know, but it's not really the solution I'm looking for. I don't want another keyboard shortcut to remember. There are several mobile apps that do this kind of thing, like FastEver, but nothing on the desktop (at least for Windows). Link to comment

A Windows shortcut? Try making a shortcut to the Evernote.exe executable using the /NewNote command-line parameter... Link to comment
ThatGuyJeff 1 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 @jefitoI've found a better solution... Apparently the system tray icon can be set to create a new note when you click on it. So I set it the icon to always be displayed in the system tray. When I click on it and the new note window pops up. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Link to comment

Glad you found a solution. Link to comment
