    OneNote, prevent automatic opening of notebook


    Hello all,
    I apologize if this is a general question, I just have not been able to find a clear answer for this and wanted to reach out to you all.

    Whenever I open OneNote on my computer, it automatically opens my last-opened notebook with it. This is a concern of mine, as some of my notebooks have material on them that I would rather not share (this computer is used by more than just me). I can close a notebook before I close OneNote (and that way the notebook won't open the next time I start OneNote), but I worry that I might occasionally forget to close my notebooks.

    My question is: Is there a setting in OneNote so that I can prevent it from automatically opening a notebook each time I start OneNote?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Hello,

    Regarding your query, the OneNote automatically saves your notebooks/notes to your OneDrive storage.

    If your OneNote 2007 is automatically syncing your notebooks to your OneDrive, you should also be able to open them using the OneNote for Windows 10.

    Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

    Hi Frobisher,

    You have to explicitly repeat the procedure of opening the notebooks for every notebook present on SkyDrive.

    Or you can copy the link to OneNote notebooks opened in OneNote desktop and mail yourself the link and invoke the hyperlinks from mail on Phone to open all the notebooks on phone. And OneNote Mobile does not support versions other than OneNote 2010. Please,
    make sure the notebooks in OneNote desktop client are all of OneNote 2010 version.

    Let us know if this helps in getting to your sections on phone.

    OneNote, prevent automatic opening of notebook

    Hi ilmone85. Welcome to the TensForums @ilmone85

    First if I were you I would have at least two user accounts on device. One for you, one for the others. Not sure who is the admin but if you are owner then they could be Standard.

    While this doesn't answer your question it does give you a possible solution. You can password protect Notebook Tabs, right click on tab, then Password Protect this section.

    Then head to options, Advance, then scroll down to passwords and set the options you want. The timer option should cover you.

    Don't Password protect everything all at once. Learn on one tab then dive in.
