(FROM http://superuser.com/questions/35589/windows-7-sticky-notes--changing-default-font)
Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts]

Find "Segoe Print (TrueType)".

How to control Windows 7 snap feature with two monitors?

There is the Snap feature in Windows 7. But it seems to not work when dragging window to the edge that are adjoin to the second monitor. How to make it working? May be some regedit cheat or something?

You should use only shortcuts for that configuration
(mouse movements alone seems not supported for that special side that crosses over to the other monitor)

NOTE: On multiple monitors, continually pressing a keyboard shortcut combination below will cause the window to snap to the side and scroll in that direction through the multiple monitor screens.

Windows Key + Left Arrow Key
This will snap the current window to the left side of the screen, or unsnap a window that is snapped to the right side of the screen.

Windows Key + Right Arrow Key
This will snap the current window to the right side of the screen, or unsnap a window that is snapped to the left side of the screen.

It might be worth it to point out the Windows+Shift+[Left/Right] combination. This will keep the position on your monitor while switching the window between monitors. – Ryan Versaw Jul 15 at 13:34
