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.

    Dear Apuharmi,

    Apology duly noted! However, if you were at it night and day for forty-five years trying to improve your thinking processes as I have, to compensate for my physical disabilities, then you will understand where I am coming from and where I am at. I like Microsoft's hardware like their mice and programmable keyboards making it easier for me, but all I am doing is to be totally aware what going on when you use Windows XP on UP! And I have written a synopsis for myself as to make it easier to work with Windows XP or 7. Maybe I am trying to share these discoveries what it can or can not do. And what Microsoft is doing about it. As much as I comment about Windows and Office, I will always use them to my advantage. I really am a very sharp programmer, who rewrote Commodore DOS as to do what needed to do as what Windows is doing now on my SX-64 and the Commodore C-128 working in tandem as ONE PC!  I even had the Texas Instruments TI-99/4 and the TI-99/4A Home Computer up to its max capacity running with 4 5¼-inch double sided double density floppies working in TMS 9900 Assembly language along with its TI Extended Basic. And worked as a tech support solely for Olympic Sales company from 1979 to 1981... I also serviced what I sold during business hours and after hours... One of my accomplishments was how the Neilson Rating was formulated which I did for KCBS  Channel 2 in 1980, before it was done on the modern day computers. As much I was constantly on the phone answering the customer's questions, I was credited as being more than a MVP in the sales department. I went every computer seminar paid by the boss, because I knew more than anyone else did as even to sell the first Apple II and III computers. I have taken data processing and accounting in the years following high school and astounded the teachers in college as to how exactly the IBM 402 accounting machines worked as that is simple arithmetic in adding and subtracting on an old 10-key adding machine. I had plenty of time between rounds in Security to study up on the classes I took in electronics and data processing as to formulate my own batch processing even with the TI-59 programmable calculator at the time that carried over to the TI-99/4 and the Commodore SX-64 and C-128. It is when my younger brother gave me my first modern day PC tower I scream how I made it work better than new!!! He was amazed on what I did to the 566i e Machine tower. It has been documented that Windows 98 SE has a fatal flaw built into it long after I discovered it. IT would not shut down after the content index took over. I could not properly shut the PC down with Windows 98. Most of these discoveries were with Windows 98 that I am using with Windows XP and 7 as Microsoft does not tell you what it is really doing! Instead just tell you briefly what I did with the 566i PC:

    It came with a DVD ROM Drive in the top 5¼-inch bay that was barely working, and the bottom bay had a CD RAM drive, a 3½-inch Floppy drive, and two hard disk drive as an 8 GB drive as drive letter C and a 20 GB drive for drive letter D and 256 MB of RAM and 2 USB 1.1 ports. It had a MAD DOG sound card that was good even now is in one of other towers, and a Fax/modem PCI card and the bottom PCI card slot was empty.

    Like I have said in my last email I also got that as I paid $300.00 for the T1090 e Machine as it came with a 20 GB Seagate IDE drive working with XP with a service pack... It bombed out and lost the initial CD drive... I had to replace it to reboot Windows... I discovered that they both had the same video chip an Intel 81010, and I also discovered that its GMA drivers also made the 566i e Machine go TURBO! I mean four times as quick. I had the 566i bomb more than once with Windows 98, it even scarred 24 sectors of the 8 GB drive that was in it trying to shut it down! Hence I lost Windows 98... By then I put in four new hard disk drives from WD from 160 to 320 GB and needed the CD RAM drive only to get a clean boot of Windows XP from the T1090, I had to call Microsoft to have it activated because I did not want to use the Internet until I knew more about what I want my PCs to be. I subsequently took out those PCI cards and got three  with 4 +1 USB ports as to improve its performance. it ended up with six hard disk drives one was a WD 160 GB Passport that was attached to one of the PCI cards on the inside and one 3½-inch 500 GB IDE drive attached to a Rosewill USB to IDE adaptor, plus other hardware and It had about a terabyte and a quarter drive space inside with ten partitions as to add to the page file. To get past the 137 GB limitation I used Seagate's DDO, Direct Drive Overlay and I was able to reformat its drives capacity. I did this not once, but five times in the course of its history when it finally blew out the second IDE channel. It has since been scrapped and all that was left was its power supply and the motherboard. The drives I still have working as inside the original IDE/SATA I/O Magic enclosure and hence been reformatted and in use. Also my younger brother has given me the 400idx e Machine tower wit Windows 200 Pro and a makeshift PC with a Gateway motherboard. The power and drive lights were not connected because the connections were not there, Here I added the second IDE RACK to cover the top 5¼-inch opening and insert the 3½-inch drive in its tray and it had the drive and power lights.

    The 400idx e Machine did not come with a case fan, and I installed one for it. It came with 256 MB of RAM a 6 GB hard disk drive and a 13.6 GB drive and it had one CD ROM drive and a 3½-imch floppy. It also was scrapped because I had to move from California to NY… That when my brother gave the makeshift Gateway tower… That also blew out because I was running the video processor at 72 hertz to compensate for the flickering of its 25-inch CRT Monitor at 60 Hertz. I since got newer PC towers.

    My masterpiece if my ability is on the Gateway Solo Laptop! My middle brother that gave me the 566i e Machine also gave to me the Gateway Solo Laptop for my birthday in 2009. It was barely working on a half baked version of Windows 98, The CD ROM was not working properly, and I had no Graphic Media Acceleration, the two USB ports had no drivers installed, and no sound out of its speakers. I sent it in to fix all this at Staple Tech Support, I had to pay $114.00 to get the video to work and the CD to work plus their time and labor. The straw the broke the camel’s back, sort of speaking, was the Belkin wireless express card that my brother also gave me with it… I went to Belkin on line, and the only had the drivers for Windows XP not Windows 98. So, I loaded in the XP drivers for it. I had to upgrade to Windows XP or else! It took me three times to do it because I also bought a new 256 MB SODDR RAM card increasing the memory from 96 MB to 160 MB, HALF of each card! (128 + 32 = 160 MB). And replaced the 6 GB drive to an 80 GB 2½-inch IDE drive. I also had to buy a new version of Windows XP Pro and on the third try got the USB ports working and I do have its sound coming from the motherboard… The sad news, … the battery is dead and is not replaceable, however, it is barely working on AC power. I took out the express card because now I am hard wired into my network switch box with it by using a Trendnet USB to RJ45 Ethernet adaptor! Dammit, It works! My middle brother said to me when he saw it working: “Eddie-Ed, you made a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!”  I comment. “I did a Lazarus to it!” I raised the dead lame duck of a notebook You may one PC, but to me, I need all eight on a network with 180 + backups as if one PC goes down, the others get it going! Not all of the are on at the same time. I need only at most two, and a network server to connect them all, I learned a few serious lessons with the TI-99/4 and the Commodore SX-64. I am not going up the creek without a paddle of some kind of backup and all those installer programs. They saved me from being hacked twice. I recovered from them myself without spending a thin dime. I had all the software needed and reestablished my organization in a matter of hours, not days or weeks as before! Hence as why I stress those BOOT CDS for Windows and a copy of all those installer programs.

    One last note, some idiot threw out a Windows 7 64-bit DVD for my Compaq laptop and a very good battery that is for it last month! I do not need it yet, but in case of emergencies. I already have re-cloned its 250 GB drive twice and last time on a 500 GB drive, even though it was a success twice, Windows wants me to renew its license for $50.00 on line to fix the missing certification parameters. So far it does no harm as I have to cancel the “Genuine Advantage” window it showing up every four hours. I just ignore it.

    Dear Edmond,

    Thank you for putting me straight. Although I don't recall calling you an idiot, and my previous posts don't seem to contain those words from me, please accept my sincere apologies and I wish you nothing but the best for your future. I was confusing stupidity and ignorance with other problems. And I'm not bald, but if it makes you happy, you may call me Baldy.

    Regards, Apuharmi, alias Baldy (apparently!)

    Dear****Apuharmi,


    Oh yeah, you are not the only one who has call me an idiot, because WE all are called idiots because we are all listening to and reading the damm EULA from Microsoft about how to OPERATE and USE Windows as to what garbage they want US to have, to delete out, to update and contend with by accepting to running Windows and what else software they make. Also by your own logic, you also call yourself one. I have a legitimate excuse to BE one and that was because the doctors that have examined me in the past has gotten me my disability as my SSI in 2004. as having meningitis when I was three months old! What is YOUR excuse? Maybe if I had a license to fix and repair someone elses PC I will also be called an idiot. Is it necessary to have one to fix my OWN? I do not think so Baldy! This was contested in 1977 when I graduated from for MY EE degree in electronics by the state of California. Am I an Idiot to contest it and WIN hands down? I do not think so BALDY!


    Third case: I sent one of my laptops to Staples Tech services to fix the C drive, the drive that has the C partition on it, as to increase the recovery partition another twelve GB? They muffed it royally by adding a twelve GB partition when I wanted three! This laptop was a trade-in for an Acer Laptop that bombed out on me three times in a row within a month time for the same reason as a blown disk controller chip! Am I an idiot challenging the ability of Staples service department on something I can do myself? I do not think so! I know what Vista can do, and I wanted to see that THEY had the brains to do also? I even paid extra because it was a custom job. Just because he HAS the license and I do not, does not mean he is a smart guy. The trick was relatively simple to me, because since then, I did a lot of resizing the partitions after they had their data on it without losing one byte of data... That includes the recovery partition itself. To me, it has no value to me. The contents of the first two do because its Windows… I really went out hopping mad at the Tech department and did the work myself as soon as I got it home.


    The trick is that YOU can expand or shrink any partition, including the C partition using Windows itself to do it with by using Windows own Disk Management! YOU cannot do that with Windows XP! Of course, I was able to copy off the entire recovery partition intact onto another HDD for safe-keeping. I want this to be drive letter D when I had shrunk the C partition by 12 GB from  what was there about 223 GB. And made the D partition the remaining 26 GB that also included the recovery partition. (I later since removed it to be able to use all 26 GB of that partition and I yet have not a need to use it). I got it done successfully and also since removed that drive as it was 250 GB 2½-inch SATA 5400 RPM drive, because its too slow for me. I put that Samsung drive into another external enclosure and traded it for a WD 250 GB 7200 RPM SATA drive, and that also was too slow for me. Since then I added two 2 GB DDR2 memory boards, and cloned the disk for the second time successfully and upgraded to a Seagate 500 GB 7200 RPM drive still as the first two partitions INTACT! The last partition was deleted after the cloning process and that left 276 GB for the D partition I needed, as also to put MY software and organization back on it. The C partition also has a 60 GB page file! And it does not peg the CPU frequency meter at 100% all the time. BY the way, it supports all 26 drive letters and two mounted partitions! See if you can figure that out and without breaking the piggy bank to have someone else to do it; Smarty pants?


    Let me see you CAN do that with Windows XP? YOU cannot! In Windows XP, you have to start from scratch and reformat each partition individually once, and consequently lose the data and Windows XP altogether. WHO is calling the kettle black? Or you tell me the procedure EXACTLY HOW? Still you wont have the version of Windows 7 as I have mine without all that HP garbage they call software.


    Case #4: My brother has asked me in 2007 to recover the data from the two HDDs that were inside the 366i e Machine tower. HE blew its CPU and its electronics but not the drives. I told him WHY (Reread my last reply). That started the ball rolling. HE then asks me to sell one of my PCs to him, I charged him $350.00 for my advanced version of Windows XP along with the T1090 e Machine PC tower. It originally had a 20 GB HDD and a CD RAM drive brand new in it, as I included a second drive both being 160 GB. Because the version of Windows XP in it, I had the CD of was on three CDs it did not have a service pack I could not use the last 33 GB of the drives, I had to leave it as 137 GB each. Nevertheless, it worked out so well he gave the PC to his daughter and her boyfriend stole it, it was that GOOD! By that money I got a version of Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 on it and a few more Hard disk drives to replace those that were in the T1090, I still have the original 20 GB Seagate IDE drive and it still works as good as new. I can give you a lot more success stories, but they keep mounting UP!


    Go right ahead and call me an idiot, I have too many successes to contradict you for me being one and yourself without the knowledge how to fix my own stuff. MY brother is that judge not you, or Microsoft, he has the brains to be a licensed Civil Engineer. My intelligence lies with Pythagoras as; “A=pr^2^”, the math of it all. I astounded a lot more than my three brothers and two professors who were Aircraft engineers, and Texas Instruments by it. My record speaks for itself, and a dad who started it all for me, who could have single handedly won WW II for all of us! Otherwise we would be speaking German instead! I do not think Einstein would say NO to that!


    Yours Truly, Edmond, The Hardware & Software engineer.
