Is there a way to directly write notes onto the Windows desktop?
edbro:
How big of a note? If not too big then simply RightClick - New Text File and then create your note as part of the file name.

You might have to click on the icon to see the full text. You can even be creative and use a blank icon.

- as TucknDar said: NoteZilla > Create Note > (Settings) > send note to desktop:
And what's more: the note will stay on the desktop, even after a PC restart! Edit: - and you can combine the note with a reminder - popup, or a sound track! :up:

Maybe this would solve your problem:
Desktop Notepad - Desktop Notepad is a tool which displays the text on your desktop wallpaper. It is user-friendly but feature-rich tool. Now you can write down reminders or work plans and you will see them on the screen. Desktop Notepad can be used to streamline your note-taking. Move your mouse over Desktop Notepad text and the tool will 'wake up' and display its transparent and resizable window.-http://desktop-notepad.digital-estate-systems.qarchive.org/

I *think* masu wants something that will allow him to type text directly onto the desktop without having to open a new note. Kind of like setting off a big part of the desktop as a scratch pad? I was going to suggest Notezilla myself but for an awesome FOSS alternative look no further than Stickies.
Lashiec:
Installing Vista! ;D. There are quite some apps like the one Darwin mentions. I swear we ever have a thread discussing them... let me check... em, no, we have some isolated threads discussing specific programs, but not a cumulative thread. Anyway, you have the option of NoteZilla and Gizmo mentions a couple of options in his website. I've used ATnotes in the past, and liked it.
