    I want to create a scrybe gesture for sticky notes but I cant get the path to work. The path is

    c:\windows\system32\stikynot.exe

    but this is not recognised and when i search for it in explorer its not there, anyone know how I could do this?

    Edit: I can use the shortcut to open file location and its there but I still cant get it to work

    The shortcut to my Sticky Notes on my desktop is %windir%\system32\StikyNot.exe Try that. Good luck.

    When I hit the Windows button plus R, paste in %windir%\system32\StikyNot.exe and hit enter , a sticky note pops up on my desktop....I assume this does not work on your pc???
    Are you sure StickyNotes is installed?

    Okay, I've been trying to do this also and it does not work, but I made a discovery:
    I have a programmable Logitech keyboard and was able to make a shortcut key to Windows 7 StickyNotes which works fine.
    This seems to be a problem within Scrybe itself that it will not find a program within system32???
