When you say create a new section, do you mean click on the New Section
tab
on the toolbar? Or did you mean something in Windows Explorer...
I couldn't create a new section without creating it in one of my
existing
Notebooks (which was always the problem - I didn't want my unfiled
notes
in
ANY of my notebooks, I wanted it back to the default location, whatever
that
is) So I just created a new notebook titled unfiled notes, and I was
able
to
change the pathway to that notebook. So now when I click on the unfiled
notes
tab, it opens this new notebook. That'll have to suffice, I suppose.
:
Ok - let's try something really weird. I don't know if this will work
or
not. (It did here, but I am not sure if it should have.) Create a new
section. Save it as "Unfiled Notes.one" in you OneNote Notebooks
folder.
Now, try the path modify again and see if it connects to that section.
If
it
does, see if you Unfiled Notes button in the notebooks list works now.
I think what happened is that since you deleted the Unfiled Notes
section,
and you didn't recreate it, OneNote is just getting confused when it
tries
to access it. By saving another section as the Unfiled Notes, you give
OneNote a place to look and it should work again.
Let me know....

in
message When I open OneNote, I click on Tools, then I click Options, then I
click
save. Then I see the pathway I typed into my last email. When I
click
the
modify box, it opens a new window, called Select File. Currently, i
gives
me
two options, my Personal Notebook, and my Work Notebook, which, I
believe,
were default Notebooks. (I created three notebooks for my new
semester,
but
have since deleted them - one of them is where the Unfiled Notes tab
got
stuck.) I'm brand new to Vista, but it looks like a Windows
Explorer-type
window. There's a box on the bottom to type in a file name, then I
can
click
Open. If I type in aything that ends in Unfiled Notes.one, the
computer
cannot find it, and asks me if I've typed it in wrong, etc.
When I search for Unfiled Notes.one, the hard drive finds nothing.
When
I
search for Unlied Notes without the .one, it finds some deleted
shortcuts,
which eventually try to open picture gallery.
:
Alison,
Can you give me a little details on "nothing happens"? Do you mean
when
you
click the button you don't get the browse dialog, or do you mean
you
can
go
through the change process, but it doesn't stick?
I don't know about uninstalling it and starting over. Let's see
what
we
can
figure out before you go that route. But I am thinking it might be
worth
doing a Detect and Repair (or another one) and see what that does.
Also, just for my information: Could you run a search of your hard
drive
and
tell me where all it finds "Unfiled Notes.one"?

the
pathway? And when I try to Modify it, nothing happens.
I've even deleted the Can Lit notebook, but that doesn't help,
now
OneNote
can't find ny Unfiled Notes, 'cause it's still trying to go to
the
Can
Lit
notebook.
Should I just uninstall the program and start over?
:
Alison,
Check out your Tools--> Options, save area. The Unfiled Notes
section
location should be there.
Check out this screen shot for an example:

I've tried this several times, but it keeps showing up in the
Notebook
that
I accidentally moved it to. I've even gone so far as to delete
all
my
notebooks, but this doesn't help, and now I cannot use
UnfiledNotes
at
all.,
as the pathway no longer exists, and I can't figure out what
the
pathway
is
supposed to be.
What should the default setting for the UnfiledNotes be? What
was
the
pathway before I accidentally moved it? The only options I can
figure
out
are
how to move it to another notebook, and I don't want it to be
in
a
notebook
at all. Do I have to uninstall OneNotes and then re-install
it?!
:
Close OneNote and find the UnfiledNotes .one file on your
hard
drive
with Windows Explorer (the setting in Options gives you the
exact
path
and filename). Then move it where you want it to be. Reopen
OneNote
and
adjust the location in Options to point to the file again.

Hi,
I have moved my "Unfiled Notes Tab" to a sub-folder within
another
notebook.
How do I move it back out to the default setting (where
the
tab
is
not
in
any notebook)?
The unfiled notes button at the bottom left area always
links
to
the
unfiled
notes tab location within the notebook I had moved it too,
and
not
to
the
default section?
