Short Cuts

[Talavar]

I have OneNote 2007 installed on 10 PCs, and all are pointing to one shared
workbook via the company intranet.

My problem is this, somebody created a short cut to one section (tab), and
when trying to remove that short cut, it is added back in twice (i.e. instead
of having 1 short cut to that section, I now have 2 pointing to the same
section). At one point, I had over 30 short cuts pointing to the same
section.

The only thing I have found to work is, going to each PC that has OneNote
installed on it, and making sure it is logged out of OneNote; looking up the
shared directory and manually deleting the short cuts; then opening OneNote
back up, and refreshing (re-synch'ing) each PC. This is a very long and
involved process.

My question: Is there an easier way to do this, and is there a way to
prohibit the creation of short cuts?

Thank you for your time and effort. Any information at this point will be
very useful.

P.S., no, we are not using a Sharepoint server, if that helps at all.

Hi Talavar,
Can you elaborate a bit more about the shortcuts?
Was it a link to that section within OneNote (I am guessing not)

If it was a Windows shortcut, where it was created?
Was the shortcut replicated to all 10 machines you have?

Thanks,

It was a shortcut to a section within OneNote; it was not a windows
shortcut. They are showing up as sections in their own right titled
"shortcut to [name of section (or tab)] 5 2" (that's an example of an actual
shortcut, at the moment).

I'm thinking with all of the PCs in OneNote at the same time, if you delete
these shortcuts on 1, the other (up to) 9, will, when synching, replace the
shortcuts. In some cases, adding the same "tab" back multiple times.
