    Sticky notes are saved in \Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Sticky Notes in a file called StickyNotes.snt.

    So open your backup & restore the file ;)

    Thanks - restore them from where? I don't want to do a full system restore just for sticky notes.
    Now I know where they're stored I'll back them up using my custom backup.
    Thanks again

    Well, restore them from backup... so you don't back up your Users folder?

    Try this: go to the folder: \Users\{user name}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\. Right-click on the Sticky Notes folder, choose Properties and select the Previous Versions tab.

    Wit luck you can restore a previous version.

    Well I'll be! Didn't know about Previous Versions tab - thank you.
    I don't backup my entire Users folder because it's huge - nor all My Documents. Each night I backup folders I have modified that day. Each week I also backup Favourites and Emails - but I never thought of Sticky Notes!
    Thanks again.
