Where is the 2007 OneNote 'notebook cache file' located?

[Fra Angelico Fan]

OneNote 2007 - which I've been using for about a month, creating about 20
Sections with up to 20 pages in each Section - suddenly froze today on
opening. Error message is: "Critical error: OneNote is unable to access the
notebook cache file for an unknown reason ... Error code: 0x17"
(I've run Office Diagnostics but they all completed OK.) I understand if I
delete the notebook cache file, OneNote will rebuild an uncorrupted version.
So I plan to locate file so I can delete it. If that's a really stupid thing
to do, I'd be most grateful for correction.

1. I hope all your notebooks are synched ...
2. Close ALL notebooks in ON to decouple them from the cache and close ON.
3. In XP the path (a hidden path !)to the cache is:

C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Local
Settings\Applicationdata\Microsoft\OneNote\12.0

4. The cache itself is a file called

OneNoteOfflineCache.onecache

5. Under Vista/W7 search for that file.
6. Delete it.
7. Start ON and re-open ALL notebooks. It will take a while to re-create
the cache.
