However, to make it work correctly, there is a setting in Windows Explorer that needs to be enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a short video that explains all the steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Windows: Attach sticky notes to folders in Windows File Explorer using Notezilla\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-IsdaTRRVxQ?start=20&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/Notezilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Notezilla<\/a> sticks sticky notes to different web pages, documents, folders &amp; emails based on the title of the window. In the case of Windows Explorer, by default, the title of the window is the folder name. So here comes the problem. If you have multiple folders with the same name, then the sticky note would show up on all those folders because of the same window title, which we do not want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To solve this, we have to enable a setting in Windows File Explorer &#8211; &#8220;Display the full path in the title bar.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Windows 10\/7, Open the file explorer and click on the &#8216;View&#8217; option and select &#8216;Folder Options.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the View tab of the folder options, you would also see a note &#8220;Classic theme only&#8221; against this setting. It only means that the full path will be shown only in the Classic Windows theme. Other themes will use the full path internally (which is what Notezilla requires).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just enable the option mentioned above and also depicted in the below picture.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"382\" height=\"475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Folder-options.png\" alt=\"Folder options\" class=\"wp-image-5545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Folder-options.png 382w, https:\/\/www.conceptworld.com\/blog\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Folder-options-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 382px) 100vw, 382px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s it. You are now all set and running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how about giving it a try today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part of Notezilla is that it can <strong>sync notes between your mobile and PC or laptop<\/strong>!
