Sticky Notes in Windows 7 - where are the files actually stored, ie, how can I move the content to another computer?

All notes are stored in one file:

%AppData%\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt  

or possibly

%AppData%\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\StickyNotes.snt

Note that this isn't a text file, and it contains both current notes and vestiges of old notes; i.e. it's not exactly useful for sharing stuff.

AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\stickynotes.snt

At least in Win 7, you must run Sticky Notes first to create the directory and file. Note that AppData is a hidden directory.

Copy and paste the file, and the next time you run Sticky Notes your old notes will appear.

In Windows 7, notes are stored in C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes\ folder in StickyNotes.snt file. This file can be copied to a different profile in the same machine or to different machines.

For Windows 7 either 32 or 64 bit OS it is stored in the following path (replace username with actual username)

c:\users\***username***\appdata\roaming\microsoft\sticky notes\stickynotes.snt

Copy the file and paste in to the other user's profile.
