The Sticky Notes in Windows 10/8/7 allows you to pin your notes and reminders to your desktop. Its a very useful feature and there is a lot you can do with it. Sometimes, you may want to delete an old sticky note. To do so, you click on the 'x'. Now when you do that to delete a Sticky Note in Windows 10/8/7, you are prompted for confirmation. You have to click on yes and proceed. If you check the Don't display this message again check box, to stop future prompts, you will not be prompted again the next time you delete a sticky note. But what if you decide later on that you'd rather have the prompt back? There is no way the Windows UI allows you to do it easily in Windows 7/8 - but only Windows 10 v1809 allows you to do it easily!
