OVERVIEW
FileNotes is a File System Annotation program for Windows.  FileNotes adds the ability to record and present notes about the files on your computer and network.  FileNotes works transparently presenting notes and providing the ability to add notes automatically on demand.  FileNotes works with Windows Explorer and the File Open/Save As dialogs to provide you the ability to see and edit your notes and annotate files when they are viewed, opened and saved.  

FileNotes uses OnFile technology developed by JAMWORKSPRO to ensure the integrity of your notes when annotated files are moved, copied, renamed, deleted, recycled or restored from the recycle bin.

FileNotes Stickys automatically popup to display your note when you place the mouse cursor over an annotated file.

FileNotes is there when you need it, effortless, simple and fun to use.
