OneTOC2 in every directory of a network share HenryD 3/20/2007 4:48:00 PM Hello, We are starting to use OneNote and are doing some shared notebooks from the network. We recently found that there is a OneToc2 file in every directory on one of the network shares....what would have caused this and how can we prevent it?

I would leave those files alone. It should be listed as hidden/system, so most users should not see it. The file size should be small. =?Utf-8?B?SGVucnlE?= <HenryD[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in news:AE6A1BAE-80A5-47CB-BEB5-81E69299790A[ at ]microsoft.com: [Quoted Text] > Hello, > We are starting to use OneNote and are doing some shared notebooks > from > the network.

Re: OneTOC2 in every directory of a network share HenryD 3/21/2007 11:23:15 PM Erik, The files are interfering with some other applications. We have one in particular that checks a certain network folder and processes the files it finds and then deletes them. Is there a way to control where the TOC files are?

(ON 2003 created .onetoc files) I have found that it doesn't seem to hurt OneNote to delete them. OneNote just recreates them as needed. The only way to prevent them from being created is to NOT open any parent or grandparent folder as a "Notebook" in OneNote. Since this is on a network share then any user opening a folder as a notebook will cause this to happen. While the help files aren't too very explicit about this, a "Notebook" is just a folder on your hard drive that you have told OneNote to treat as a notebook by "opening" it as a notebook. There is nothing really special about these folders other than OneNote treats it as a top level folder for a set of OneNote files. What you have to do is separate the folders you want to use as "Notebooks" and folders you want to be processed by this other program. They can be on separate shares or just in separate branches of the folder structure under a single share. Then you have to make darn sure that NONE of your users gets the bright idea of "Opening" one of the folders being used by the other program as a OneNote "Notebook."
