Brian Dewey has created a OneNote PowerShell Provider PowerToy which uses the power of scripting to get to OneNote data.
He includes several scripts, such as the “Get-OneNoteDigest.ps1″ which sends email when pages in a shared OneNote notebook change.
Also check out a more recent post about Technology: Todo.txt, PowerShell, and OneNote and how he can use his TodoTxt scripts to manipulate his list inside OneNote!

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.

Nani Courten of the OneNote Testing Team has created a Table Of Contents PowerToy.
It creates a new Table Of Contents page for the section with hyperlinks to all the pages. It also shows the creation date, last modified date, and sorts them by last modified at the top.
Click here for a larger screenshot. (Demo section/pages based on krypticide’s X61 Review posted using the Web Export powertoy.)

Dave Tse has created a really cool OneNote Web Exporter and released it via CodePlex (MS Open Source)…
What is this for?
The OneNote Web Exporter allows you to export a OneNote notebook as html files that anybody can view through a web browser.How does it work?
You give it a OneNote 2007 Notebook and it will generate an html page and a folder containing all of the notebook data.
What can I do with it?
- Export a notebook when you need to send it to somebody who doesn’t have OneNote 2007
- Maintain a browser accessible version of your notebook by scheduling a daily export to a SharePoint server

How it works
- Download the application from here: OneNoteSearchReplace.zip

- You will now have a new toolbar button in OneNote which looks like this:
- Click the button and you will see a window like this:
- Now you can choose your search terms and what scope.
- Click Preview and Replace to try it out!
Additional Note: Dan also included a disclaimer that PowerToys posted on his blog [and all other blogs too] are not supported by Microsoft and are use at your own risk.

Stephen Lawrence shared with Dan Escapa how to export via a script from MatLab to OneNote…
I took your Send file to OneNote powertoy code and adapted it for Matlab. I have attached my code below so that you can get an idea of how it works.
I had to switch from creating Matlab XML to Matlab HTML…the result works well. All I had to do to publish my file in OneNote was type:
OneNotePublish(‘test.m’);
in the command window.I got the resulting page:
You can download the source for this by downloading it here: Matlab2OneNote.

Jeremy Lewi from Georgia Tech has the following powertoy available on his site: SendtoOneNote
Overview: This addin provides a program to create links to files on OneNote pages. Shortcuts are created in the SendTo folder. This allows files to be sent to OneNote by right clicking on them and selecting SendTo. Two links are created which allow the sent files to be added to the current page or a new page. If the file is an XML file, an XSL transform is applied which outputs OneNote xml which is then incorporated into the current page.
This program was originally based on Daniel Escapa’s sendToOne powertoy. However, instead of embedding the files in OneNote it creates a link. It also automatically applies an XSLT transform to any XML files you send.
