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?

    This workaround (removing the use printers check from RD Client) really doesnt help me, as I still need the re-directed printers.

    Do you have a process called WDFME.EXE?

    If so, it is part of Western Digital Smartware suite and we have seen it cause printer spooler traffic when opening the remote connection. This can cause OneNote to start.

    We have contacted WD about it but I'm not sure what's the status of it. You can try uninstalling this software or reinstalling the latest version to see if it helps.

    Hope this helps,

    Benoit.
