Enable Delete Prompt again in Microsoft Sticky Notes

To enable this prompt again:

1- Type RegEdit in the Start search box and select it.

2- Locate the StickyNote registry subkey by clicking each of these:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
SOFTWARE
MICROSOFT
WINDOWS
CURRENTVERSION
APPLETS
STICKYNOTES

3- Click PROMPT_ON_DELETE AND CHANGE "value Data" to 1 from 0.

4- File > Exit

5- Close any open Sticky Notes. Now next time you try to delete a StickyNote it will ask you "Are you sure you want to delete this note?"
