onenote '07 duplicates BorisS 4/3/2007 6:20:02 AM My OneNote upgrade decided to go into my documents and make a few copies of folders I had, so that it could claim them as its own ("OneNote Notebooks" folder that it created on its own). Now, when I try to get the parent directory which houses this AND my actual folders to be the primary location, it just goes to the OneNote Notebooks directory as the only one it'll accept. Considering this little copy is about 7 Gb, this just ain't gonna fly. So several questions. First, can I just delete that notebook, and not have it care? Second, if not, how can I redirect away from it (although this is a disastrous scenario if I cannot just get rid of the extra 6Gb of space). Thx. -- Boris

You installed OneNote 2007 and it created the OneNote Notebooks folder, got that. So you're trying to set your primary location instead to the My Documents folder? What "little copy" is 7GB? -- -Ben- Ben M.

Re: onenote '07 duplicates BorisS 4/3/2007 12:54:02 PM I was jokingly saying that it copied the two main document folders (both of which were under My Documents), and that is an extra 7Gb of space. And I want the default location to be the actual My Documents folder, in which I have those two original subfolders. Instead, it is taking the "OneNote Notebooks" that it itself created within My Documents (again, those are copies of my existing large folders there) and using those as the default (and won't let me shift away from them. -- Boris "Ben M.
