How to stop "Send to OneNote" window from showing when I start OneNote 2013

Question

When I start OneNote 2013, this window pops up in the background. How do I prevent this?

(I do want to use the keyboard shortcuts, but I just don't want this window to open.)

Solution 1

I was annoyed by this and I somehow managed to get what I want after trying all kind of combinations of settings. Now when I start my computer I can use the shortcuts (Windows + S) without having the window to pop-up. It doesn't even pop-up when I use the shortcut or start OneNote. Looks like I got rid of it for good!

I think the steps that got me to where I am now were

1. Click on VIEW > Send to OneNote Tool
2. Uncheck "start with OneNote"
3. Check "Place OneNote icon in the notification area of the taskbar" in Options > Display

Solution 2

You can read a little more about it here: http://winsupersite.com/office-2013/office-2013-tip-disable-send-onenote-tool

However, here is the short version:

Just navigate to File, Options and then display in OneNote. Then, uncheck the option titled “Place OneNote icon in the notification area of the taskbar.”

It's counter intuitive, but if you check the "start with OneNote" box it will NOT start with OneNote and will stop bothering you.

To use Winkey+s you will have to open OneNote and use it from there to activate this functionality.

I hope someone has a better solution :)

Solution 4

check the box Start with ONE NOte on the pop that bothers you and then exit it. it will not bother you again when you restart ONE NOTE. Hope it will helps you. !

Solution 5

If I am reading correctly you want to use the keyboard shortcut to open the main window of OneNote.

The command is Flag + Shift + N

Its not counter-intuitive. It is asking to whether to start send to onenote utility and not the popup window. So, its not something like "Don't show this message again".

@tumchaaditya - thanks for the clarification :) I still find it odd that with this check box marked you lose the ability to use winkey + s without having onenote open in front of you for the first time, but maybe that's just my installation..

This is definitely counter-intuitive.

I found this not to be true; it shows irrespective of that check box. Next answer below is what's needed.

Awesome! Thank you! Finally! I think the key is step 2. Instead of saying "Start with OneNote", it should say "Keep this dumb window in your taskbar all the time", because that's essentially what that checkbox does. :) Thank you!

For those who don't know where to find "Options" in step 3, it's File > Options
