Synchronizing toolbars and prefs LeeN 17.07.2006 18:03:02 Group, I am trying to figure out what ON files contain the configuration settings so I can copy them (and keep them synched) between two computers. The configuration settings I am referring to include: (i) toolbar and menu customizations, (ii) OneNote option settings (iii) the current structure/properties of the notebooks, i.e. what notebooks are open, their order, their color, etc. I've found the the files "preferences.dat", "toobars.dat" in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote, as well as a hidden file "OneNote Table of Contents.onetoc2" in the folder C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates. I assume the toolbar and menu customizatons are stored in "toolbars.dat"? Where are options settings stored? What about the notebook structure/properties? Can anyone shed some light? Thanks, Lee Thanks, Lee

This has been discussed at length a couple of years ago for ON 2003. Just search back. For 2007 you will have to hope one of the MVP's knows.

Re: Synchronizing toolbars and prefs "Erik Sojka (MVP)" <esojka[ at ]ms-onenote.net.nospam> 18.07.2006 22:30:08 The same two setting files (toolbars.dat and settings.dat) should be able to be copied between two machines in ON2007. The path should be identical to that in ON2003, although there may be a "12" or "2007" interspersed somewhere in either the paths or the filenames. Keep in mind this is not a recommended or supported method of moving settings between two machines, and I would not recommend doing this every day as you constantly switch between two machines. =?Utf-8?B?TGVlTg==?= <LeeN[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:FDA44D5E-DE4E-412C-8173-4FC5DE45450D[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > > > "Rainald Taesler" wrote: > >> Which version of ON - 2003 or 2007? >> >> Rainald >> > > I am using ON 2007.

Just search back. The oldest posting kept this NG is from May 08, 2006. So nothing availble from "years ago" :-( Rainald
