How to stop "Send to OneNote" window from showing when I start OneNote 2013

I was annoyed by this and I somehow managed to get what I want after trying all kind of combinations of settings. Now when I start my computer I can use the shortcuts (Windows + S) without having the window to pop-up. It doesn't even pop-up when I use the shortcut or start OneNote. Looks like I got rid of it for good!

I think the steps that got me to where I am now were

  1. Click on VIEW > Send to OneNote Tool OneNote VIEW ribbon
  2. Uncheck "start with OneNote" Send to OneNote
  3. Check "Place OneNote icon in the notification area of the taskbar" in Options > Display OneNote display options

You can read a little more about it here: http://winsupersite.com/office-2013/office-2013-tip-disable-send-onenote-tool

However, here is the short version:

Just navigate to File, Options and then display in OneNote. Then, uncheck the option titled “Place OneNote icon in the notification area of the taskbar.”


It's counter intuitive, but if you check the "start with OneNote" box it will NOT start with OneNote and will stop bothering you.

To use Winkey+s you will have to open OneNote and use it from there to activate this functionality.

I hope someone has a better solution :)
