Original Title: MAJOR BUG REPORTED IN BETA VERSION OF ONENOTE STILL EXISTS!

This bug is so irritating that after I reported it I had to remove OneNote. Perhaps there is something wrong with my system but whenever I make a Remote Desktop Connection OneNote pops up. Am I the only user who is having this problem? How do I prevent this from occurring WITHOUT removing OneNote?

    I ran the repair feature, and created a notebook. When I connected to another computer using remote access I ran into the same problem. Is there a way to add a screenshot to this posting? If so I could do so. OneNote is showing a window that reads: You cannot use this command while there is a dialog open in OneNote.

    There is one alteration in OneNote's behaviour. Prior to creating a notebook clicking 'Ok' had no affect; now when I click 'Ok' the entire OneNote application closes.

    Do you have any ideas as to what is creating this behaviour? I should mention that when I created my first notebook I chose the option to synchronize it with -- I cannot quite remember now -- either the internet or my SkyDrive.

    Although OneNote's behaviour has improved, it is still somewhat irritating.

    Try the detect and repair function in office to diagnise errors in the installation sources.

    When you say remote connection does it happens with certain users or any user.

    The keyboard shortcut to open onenote is WINDOWS+SHIFT+N key make sure you dont hit these keys accidentally
