ShixxNOTE 7.net is released

Today in March 2022, new program version ShixxNOTE 7.net Build 145 is released. After many years finally program again at the start, scan your network neighborhood for other computers. So now when you go to Send note to others dialog you will see in Network Neighborhood list all computer names which program found. After you select and add computer name it will go to Recipients List. In Recipient List you can add not only computer name, but also you can add IP address or email address. If you have email address in recipients list, program will ask your permission to run you mail client and then will send ShixxNOTE email note which contain note data (note color, title color, formatting, note text, etc.).

As you can see ShixxNOTE 7.net works normally on latest Microsoft Windows 11. Main settings dialog now looks different. To refresh dialog new images are added. From main program menu (right mouse click on program try icon) select “Settings” and you will get General, Default note and Network settings dialog. There you can change how program will behave.

Network settings are important for users who like to send note to others. There you can change main ShixxNOTE 7.net program communication port 2000 to some other. Use this settings carefully. Also you can send note anonymously if you change option Default sent from option in Network settings dialog. After that when note is send recipient will not see from who it is. But recipient will then not able to reply to sender. If you like to fool somebody be anonymous.

Price for registered ShixxNOTE 7.net version is 49.95 USD. If you buy program you can install it on every Windows computer in your network neighborhood and setup ShixxNOTE network of computers. Then sending and receiving notes to other colleagues in your company for instance is so simple and easy. Hope you will enjoy my program and hope you will register it 🙂

Best regards,

ShixxNOTE Your network neighborhood list and LAN

Hello,

If you don't see nothing in your network neighborhood list when you try to send note to somebody, then read this post. Probably you have Windows 10 and all necessary updates. Like me. On Windows XP, Windows Seven and also on first edition of Windows 10, that list was always full with names of computers in your LAN. Now today you see nothing. Also you don't see your computer. But if you look below you will see your name of computer. So I decide to share with you how can you send and test sending of note to yourself. I decided to send one note to myself. Here below look on my picture first.

I got nothing in my list Network Neighborhood, but below I can see my computer name is OZREN which will be sender's name after I send note to myself. So I entered that name in text box who to send. Simply wrote my computer name OZREN and pressed enter. Then I got in Note Recipient list my computer. So I got one note to send to myself. You can see I also did right mouse click on my computer name and there I got menu where I select option Show IP address. Voila after that I also got my IP address. So I could enter my computer name or IP address in text box.

After I added myself in note recipient list I clicked on button Send note. And off course I got my desktop sticky notes promptly with sound from my speakers.

You can see that in second picture below:

Do it at your home or office and try to send note to the others by entering theirs computer names or IP addresses. It will work on Windows 10 with all cumulative updates. If you have Windows XP or old great Windows 7 you will have not this problems with empty lists.

Stay home because of world pandemic and wait like me for happy end.

Kind regards,

Version 6.net Build 140 May 2018

ShixxNOTE 6.net version Build 140 released in May 2018 is the latest version you can download. There are some minor improvements and few bugs fixed. But cool new (old) feature comes from Windows 10 Update which let setup program to add ShixxNOTE program icon in Start Up list. So now every time you start your Windows program will be also launched. In previous versions of Windows 10 that was normal but then some update disable adding program shortcuts to Start Up folder. So now everything is like before in previous Windows versions.

Second feature is also old but now program is using different command.

When sending note to client which doesn't have ShixxNOTE program installed, program server side will use MSG command to send the message over local network. This feature works only when ShixxNOTE is running on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows Server. Example would be equivalent of writing this command in Command Prompt window:

MSG * /server:TEST-PC "Hello user !!!"

So if computer named TEST-PC doesn't have ShixxNOTE installed it will receive text in message pop out window. If you still use Windows XP or later Windows versions program will then use NET SEND command.

Third new stuff is that now when you finish installation of program and you start it, default note will be created when program is started for a first time automatically.
I hope you will install Trial 30-days version and then after you will register ShixxNOTE 6.net version.

Kind regards,

Windows Firewall Issue

Hello,

Many times my customers write me after they have purchased program. Common reason is that some computers can send and receive note and some computer(s) can only send or only receive note. I always reply to my customers and write them to make sure that Windows Firewall settings are correct, meaning that ShixxNOTE program have opened default port 2000 for communication. So you can open default port 2000 or gave permission to ShixxNOTE program in Windows Firewall settings. This is always happening because when customer install program on a computer and then start program for the first time, Windows Firewall dialog prompts and they doesn't know what to click on it.

So now I will put Windows Firewall images and what customer or simple 30-days trial user must click when program is installed and started first time on the computer. If you install program on Windows XP then you will get this dialog where you must click on the Unblock button like on an image below.

If you are installing ShixxNOTE on Windows 7 or Windows 10 you will get again Windows Firewall dialog where you must click on Allow Access button like on an image below.

If you do this at the program first start up you will have no problems later with sending or receiving notes.

Kind regards,

Make ShixxNOTE icon to appear on the TaskBar

If you have Windows 10 with latest update (I stopped counting how many times I had to update my OS) installed on your computer, than I would like to show you how to make ShixxNOTE icon visible in your taskbar.

Microsoft release update and than you have to uninstall VPN client just to get network That is my example. So now I am scared when I see that new Update is available  But lets just put ShixxNOTE icon always visible.

First you need to right mouse click on taskbar and select Taskbar settings item from menu. That item has this image beside.

After that you will get this image where you have to click on “Select which icons appear on the taskbar”.

Then you only need to set ShixxNOTE icon to On. After that and after every next Windows 10 start up you will see ShixxNOTE icon in the corner 

Kind regards,
