    Hi DesertMS,

    the guidance of cust_ doesn't work for me. Could you give me a step for step instructions please?

    I think my fault is (what cust_ mean with (possible Parameter?):

    @=""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\office16\ONENOTE.EXE" /(Possible parameter)

    Step 1: delete the One Note App

    Step 2: set parameter for doing "doubleclick" the pen, select a range and do a screenshot to clipboard

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Selecting a range doesn't work and a parameter seems not to be exist :( therefore i'm using the "windowsbutton+ctrl+s" to select a range.

    With doubleclick the complete screen is already in the clipboard. You can paste it in OneNote or any paint app..

    Hi, same problem. I've removed ONE NOTE but don't understand how to make the reg changes. I'd be grateful if you could explain how to apply them.

    Thanks.

    Well i'm using a german version and the direction is: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OneNote

    therefore: @=""C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\office16\ONENOTE.EXE" /(Possible parameter)

    check your direction..

    My reg-file(no parameters needed): http://1drv.ms/1jW1EBb

    You can edit this file with any editor..

    Attention: The slash at the end  /(Possible parameter)  without parameter should stay, because without this slash '/' or possible parameter it would open always a new session (multiple) of OneNote.

    Doubleclick to add it to the register ;)
