Troubleshoot SNT Files


Frequent SNT Opening Issues

Sticky Notes Isn't There

When you double-click your SNT file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". When this happens, it is commonly due to Sticky Notes missing in %%os%%. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the SNT file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your SNT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").


Incorrect Sticky Notes Version

Sometimes your installed version of Sticky Notes won't support your Microsoft Windows Sticky Notes File file. Visit the Microsoft Corporation website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Sticky Notes. This issue mainly occurs when your Microsoft Windows Sticky Notes File file was created by a newer version of Sticky Notes than you have on your PC.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the SNT file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Summary: Not having the right Sticky Notes version on your computer can cause problems opening SNT files.


More Causes of Problems Opening SNTs

Although you might already have Sticky Notes or another SNT-associated software installed on your computer, you can still encounter problems opening Microsoft Windows Sticky Notes File files. There can be external issues inside of %%os%% that are causing these errors when opening SNTs. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Windows Registry SNT file paths that are incorrect
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry SNT description
  • Partial installation of Sticky Notes that did not fully complete
  • SNT file corruption
  • Malware-tainted SNT file can't be opened
  • Hardware related to SNTs has device driver corruption
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Microsoft Windows Sticky Notes File file
