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.
From Edmond Gantney:
To uninstall One Note in MS office 2007 Student is to uninstall the software completely, MS OFFICE Version you have, and then RE-INSTALL it by op-out it. USE the custom button after you key in your CD KEY and seclect out which parts you do not want and RUN from your Computer what you do want. YOU WILL NOT lose your customizations, as they will automatically filed as a template. and only the programs will be removed. It will take about 30 minutes to uninstall and re install MS Office 2007 RIGHT! NO restarts required!
I rather use MS Office 2000 Professional instead! It also can be selected to do what MS OFFICE whatever and more. I have a choice of 1803 Default Fonts besides Calbri or plain text as MS Word 2000 Pro can compose your email with all of your DO-DADs and customizations and keep it in the .DOC dormat when you save it on YOUR PC and not on the Server. MS Office 2000 Pro and select which Assistant you want... I like the Genius, depending upon which PC you use not its OS. It is on my Compaq CQ62 Laptop with Windows 7 and I have no issues with it! If it does not work properly to your PC with Windows 7. select the program's compatibility mode and select Windows XP SP2 or SP3 and Windows 7 then will work for you!
If you have Windows XP, MS Office 2000 Pro is made for it. I can have the same Office assistant instead old dumb Rover Instead, YOU have toopen or run MS Word or Excel first as to get it recognized with Windows XP!

There is a good reason for hating the OneNote key that is on the new W7 keyboard. I keep hitting that key which deletes everything I've been typing. I've lost entire paragraphs in a book I'm writing, and I can't even get through an email without all of the message disappearing. How do I get rid of this key? Can I tape it down or is there a way to disable that key from doing its thing? I'm going slightly mad since my little finger hits the OneNote key instead of the Shift key that I'm used to!

I find ONE Note is a total diaster to me, I do not like any program to scatter its files into each and every folder in every partition taking up valuable drive space as one clustor in size as 4096 bytes as being empty. It may not slow down the PC but it surely fills up the hard disk drive in a hurry and slows IT down. I went about uninstalling ONE NOTE by uninstalling MS Office 2007 Student completely. Since I paid $200 for the CD I was easy to exclude it from the installer list, It was a success, however, I had to search for "One Note Table of Contents,TOC" and delete all 4096 of them and it worked. I find out now I do not NEED to install MS OFFICE 2007 Student when I find that MS OFFICE 2000 Pro works better for me considering that it needs a little more help in running it with Windows 7. It errrors needing installing the Office assistant, but YOU do not need to go through that process. I have to run "Agent Server" before I open MS Word 2000 Pro., MS outlook 2000 Pro, MS Excel 2000 Pro or any other component. Some versions of the earier versions od Windows 7 will allow one selection if the Office Assistant. as all you do is swap files with the Paperclip to which office assistant as I did with the Genius. As the Genius was renamed the Paperclip, and the rest are discarded. This also works with Windows Vista!!! Also I can set the compatibility mode in MS Office 2007 to generate and read MS Offoce 2000 Pro files by selecting MS OFFICE '97 - 2003 .DOC format, and I can work with either version of MS OFFICE with no problems at all. I have three PCs that have Windows 7, and one has MS Office 2007 Student for kicks as to know what is the same or different about it. Another PC I have has Both Windows XP and Windows Vista as I can seclect which OS I can use. Both have MS OFFICE 2000 Pro. And by finding the 'Agent Server" it is in "C:\Windows\system 32", as you might make a shortcut to the desktop for it. If you quit MS Word 2000 Pro, to run MS Excel, you might have to rerun the Agent Server. Windows Vista or 7 does not automaticly start running it YOU DO!
I just want to save a file as a straight pdf - and One Note won't allow it. No matter what I do, when saving a report from a proprietary program that is a pdf already, one note opens and tries to get me to save the report. It looks like **** in one note, and looks fine with just a pdf. I'm new to windows 8 and I'm sure its just growing pains, but this is extremely frustrating. any help on how to get one note to not be the default would be appreciated.
