I am not sure why this has become such a hot button issue. I am sorry that my comments have made it worse.
I added the remove instructions at the top f the thread because I thought it would help people. It was done directly from my uninstalling it for a test. Let me repeat the basics of that instruction, since a piece of it seems to have gotten lost:
From Start --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features, find your version of Office in the list of programs. Click the "Change" link at the top of the list. Wait for Office to do the set up. On the list of options, select "Add or Remove Features". Click Continue. Select OneNote from the list. RIght click it and select "Not Availalbe", then click continue again. Your computer will buzz for a while.... When done, OneNote should be removed from your computer.
Please be sure that you have another printer available to that machine so that you get a new default printer once Send to OneNote is gone.
As for the other question: No - OneNote doesn't slow down my machine. I usually have at least one instance of it up and I don't see any slow down at all. In fact, installing it and getting it set up only takes a minute or two on my machines. I would love to know more about what is on your machines that is causing the slow down.
Some of us do care about OneNote problems. Just because I can't live without it doesn't mean you should use it. I am sorry for the problems this thread has caused.

I have read at other sites that uninstalling OneNote might, or probably will, result in MS Office functionality problems, particularly as it pertains to updates, and that if OneNote is reinstalled (for some reason I can't even imagine) at some later date, there might be or probably will be resulting functionality errors with OneNote, as well as Office in general. With that, one might rightfully conclude that the possible risk of uninstalling OneNote outweighs the disk space occupied by OneNote, and leaving OneNote installed (though ignored) is probably the safest policy. Additionally, the instructions provided in this forum for uninstalling OneNote don't appear to apply to Windows 7... at least on the surface... and what's up with the word "change" when it's "uninstall" that is or should be the operative word? It's illogically used like: "Click Start to Shut Down," ... and if, or since, OneNote is indeed a program, should it not be specifically uninstallable from the Control Panel like all (or most) other programs? I may be a bit confused regarding the various procedure(s) for uninstalling OneNote (depending on OS), since, as I indicated earlier, I am not prepared to suffer the risk of possibly corrupting anything else about or with Office, and I more or less decided that I wouldn't even to consider uninstalling OneNote, regardless of OS-specific procedure, for that (or those) reason(s).
