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.
This does not work in Microsoft Windows 7. It does not give you a remove option for OneNote individually. It only gives the option of removing Office completely. OneNote is the single most obnoxious program I have ever encountered. We were trying to use an internet app called MWSnap on our new laptop, to cut and send photos. We have used this app on our other computers without a problem (don't have OneNote on them). Each time we tried we got a message from MS saying we could not use this app unless OneNote was activated. So we activated it, and now we cannot do anything without OneNote snagging and wanting to know where we want to send and print our messages and photos. We dont want to go through all that nonsense. We just want to be able to post our messages and pictures to our forums as we did in the past. Now we can't shut this monster off! Have tried unchecking it in the startup. Have tried uninstalling it. Have tried to search and delete its files. Nothing works! Any ideas that will actually work?
We've tried this 2 or 3 times and it doesn't work for uninstall, it only works for install so the instructions are bogus. We are trying to get rid of One Note as it fouls up our use of e-mail, printing etc.

I would suggest that you select a new default printer. My guess is that the OneNote printer wasn't completely removed when you removed the software.
Go to Start --> Devices and Printers, right click your main printer and select "Set as Default".
This should keep the OneNote printer from being used when you print pictures or anything else.
