1. REFERENCE

TO RUN AS PORTABLE:

Run the install .exe as a non-portable then copy all files (3 + SKIN FOLDER) to a Stickies data folder.

mdb2db.exe
stickies.chm
stickies.exe
skins (folder)

Then un-installed the standard C:\ ... Programsx86/Stickies.

Then Rename the v10 "Stickies.exe" program file to a descriptive name (i.e. v10 "Stickies.exe" > v10 "STICKIES 1A ATTACHED.exe) 

Make a Shortcut to the renamed XXXXXX.exe Stickies Program and add the " -allowmultiple" switch. (See FIG-2 (EXAMPLE SHORTCUT PROPERITIES))

Special color Stickies tray icons for Stickies. 
Put new icon file named "stickies.ico" to change the normal icon in the subject directory, next to the portable XXXXXX.exe. 
These should be 32x32 pixels in size. 

Repeat for each portable Stickies program.
