using OneNote 2007 with different profiles Peter Sanden <psanden[ at ]cityweb.de> 5/18/2007 8:09:22 AM I am using several profiles on my computer (private, work, administrator) but I want to be able to access OneNote data from any of these profiles. I just thought I might change the storage location in the options section appropriately (using a shared storage location for each profile) but apparently this doesn't seem to work. Maybe I should add I am using Windows XP Home and the shared drive is NTFS formatted. Especially the 'unclassified notes' seem to cause problems (can't add or change unclassified notes in some of these profiles - apparently write-protected). I suppose it might be something to do with the cache file but I am not sure. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks! Peter

In general, if your user account can read/write to a directory (and all contents in the subfolders, etc.) and you open that directory as a Notebook in OneNote under all of the profiles in question, ON should be able to handle it.

Re: using OneNote 2007 with different profiles Peter Sanden <psanden[ at ]cityweb.de> 5/21/2007 7:03:26 AM Thanks Erik, I seem to have tracked down the problem so as to be able to give some more concrete information. It appears to be the case that my 'OneNote\Unclassified Notes' folder (sorry, don't know the exact designation since I'm using the German version of OneNote) is write-protected for all profiles except when I log in as administrator - notwithstanding the fact that I have cleared the write-protect flag in the Windows Explorer. May it be something do with anything going wrong when converting from an earlier version to OneNote 2007? I remember there appeared a message regarding write-protection when I converted my OneNote 2003 notebooks to 2007.
