OneNote Favorites PowerToy
Gary Neitzke, a tester for MS OneNote, has created a “favorites” powertoy…
Purpose:
Allow a simple way to keep a list of notebooks without having to memorize locations, allowing you to close and re-open notebooks without knowing the path.
Description:
A powertoy that works like the “favorites” of IE. You add a Notebook to the list then it allows you to close the notebook in OneNote. Then in a few minutes/hours/days/months/years etc… when you need to open it but can’t remember the path, you just click on the favorites and the notebook is there ready to go, no more remember long paths and locations.
How to use:
To launch you just click the Favorites from your standard toolbar. The first launch will take a second or two since it is busy creating a file to store your favorites. You can add the notebook you are viewing or all the notebooks that are open. When you want to open a notebook you can double click the notebook to open it, right click it or just use the open command. You can also open multiple notebooks from the list. If a notebook has been removed/moved it will prompt you it cannot find the notebook and lets you know to try again or remove it from the list. You can also copy the paths to the notebooks by right clicking on them and selecting copy.

Does anyone know if there's another source for this zip file?
The link isn't working for me (8-3-07).
And I'm a happy OneNote 2007 user on a Toshiba Tecra M7 tablet.
Thanks for your posts!

Thanks. It's working again.
VERY NICE!
I love the efficiency it creates. I use OneNote to manage a small nonprofit and my personal info, so having multiple notebooks is key. This makes it so much easier than wading through various notebooks to the particular client or section.
Well done.

Great tool. One suggestion for future versions – the ability to sort alphabetically or by dragging and dropping within the list. Thanks!

Oops – never mind – I see that the list is sorted alphabetically!

This would be a great idea in MS Outlook for managing pst files. I know it would be great for new users to manipulte files!!

I have few notebooks and many sections, so this powertoy is not useful for me.
Would you consider an extension, or for that matter another powertoy, with Favorite_Sections?

To do favorite sections I recommend you copy a hyperlink to the section (you can right click on the section tab) then create a “Table of contents page” this will allow you to quickly link to any section in the notebook

I love this, but…. how do you simply remove a favorite? Do you have to remove or delete the original page…?
may be the only person that didn’t get this, but for a long time I’ve been wondering how do I delete old favorite entries from the list. Today I figured it out. Here’s how:
All you need to do is go to your user directory as in c:\Users\yourname\favorites\OneNote and there you’ll find a list of shortcut links to the favorites you’ve created.
Delete the ones you don’t want and you’re good to go! I had numerous old links that were important in their day, but now are meaningless. Now I won’t be afraid to add to my list.
