And after all these years of stopping, opening notepad repeatedly whenever I had snippets to copy and keep for just a very short period of time, and after searching and trialing yet again several stickie notes programs with none coming close to all that PPro's offers, I said to hell with it. I ended up creating an entire copy of my PPro folder and stripping it down to essentials.

Perhaps there is a way to run the pcf remotely or somesuch where it would still be completely independent of the main PPro bar that I use. That way stickies only part remains independent like having a separate folder as I do now with its own pcf file for stickies yet it is not a part of the main PPro use that I have. Though stripped down, the "just notes" folder is 3.69 megs which is a bit larger than I care for to run just for this purpose. > > The properties of my "powerpro.exe" file says that I have v4.7e. > > Thanks. :oD >
You can have separate pcf files in your PowerPro folder or in their own data folders. In the windows shortcuts you use to start PowerPro, just put the pcf file name as an argument to powerpro.exe. E.g.: "C:\Program Files\PowerPro\PowerPro.exe" "C:\myseparate\pcf.pcf" If you are already running PowerPro and want to switch to another pcf, you can do it with *Exec ChangeConfiguration, but I prefer to shutdown PowerPro and start the other pcf with its own windows shortcut. That way I start the pcf "clean". All pcf files stored in a particular folder (including the application folder) share the same environment for notes, scripts, and any tracked items (such as clips or favorites). But there is no need for duplicate copies of the application exe, dll, etc., files. I would strongly reccommend updating to the latest version of PowerPro. There have been substantial improvements and many fixes since the version you're using. Also since you use Notes, you might like to try the Notes menu I posted a few months ago in the Yahoo group Files area: <http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/power-pro/files/Scripts/NoteButtonMenu.zip> Regards, Sheri
