Mouse Scrolling in Windows' Sticky Notes [closed]

Question

I like using Windows' Sticky Notes to keep a handy list of tasks that I'm working on, which can get a little lengthy at times. It works nicely, except for scrolling. Is there a way to use the mouse-wheel to scroll within a Sticky Note instead of clicking & dragging the scroll-bar?

Answer 1

I found that if I:

1. Select the Sticky note with mouse
2. Press the Alt key 2 times

RESULT: mouse scroll will be enabled

Thanks for the post, after 7 months of loving, using Stickies this drove me crazy!

Happy computing ~

Just Perfect answer. Works for me on Windows 10. Kudos for sharing the trick. 1 Alt works for me. – Unbated

Answer 2

Pressing the alt key twice works, but only temporarily. A free program called WizMouse takes care of the program completely.

Answer 3

One (very unsatisfying) way to scroll with the mousewheel is to select the "menu" by pressing ALT (or clicking on the '+' in the top left and releasing the mousebutton elsewhere), THEN mousewheeling. But even so, it scrolls page by page which is not very usual...

I agree that it's not ideal, but it works - thank you! – Penitential

Thanks for the comment, but I don't see any settings for the Sticky Notes in Windows 7. – Penitential
