How to Disable Microsoft OneNote

Windows Vista
1. Click the 'Start' orb in the bottom-left corner of your screen, then select 'All Programs.'
2. Click 'Windows Defender > Tools > Software Explorer,' then click 'Startup Programs' in the box labeled 'Category.'
3. Search the list for Microsoft OneNote, then click 'Disable.'
4. Click 'Yes,' then click 'OK' to save your change and exit. Restart your computer if you are prompted to do so.
Windows 7
5. Click 'Start' in the lower-left corner of your screen (also called the 'Start orb') and click 'Control Panel.'
6. Click 'System and Security > Administrative Tools.'
7. Double-click 'System Configuration' once the Administrative Tool window loads. You may be asked for an administrative password if there is one set on your computer. Type this in the field provided if prompted and press 'Enter.'
8. Click the 'Startup' tab, then click to remove the check mark from the box next to 'Microsoft Office OneNote.' Click 'OK,' then follow the prompts to restart your computer.
Windows XP
9. Click on 'Start' in the lower-left corner of your screen, then click 'Programs > Startup.'
10. Right-click on the Microsoft Office OneNote icon.
11. Click 'Delete.' This will delete the shortcut in the 'Startup' folder, keeping your computer from running the program at startup. This will not delete the program; it can still be accessed from the 'Programs' menu under the Microsoft Office folder if you want it in the future.
12. Restart your computer if prompted to do so.
