There is a simple solution for preventing this. When notebooks are created, they should use the same OneNote notebook icon as appears in OneNote, instead of a standard folder icon. I've done this some manually, but have not kept up very well.

I'm using XP, and this may very well be different in Vista.

Out of curiosity, where does OneNote keep its "active notebook/folder" locations

I imagine somewhere similar to where other office apps keep their recent file history location (for retrieval in subsequent user sessions), but I've never gone on a (wild goose) hunt for it before.

BTW, this was a very helpful post. For those of us techies, I think prominently stating "OneNote is a folder editor" would save some head scratching. That OneNote is a folder editor was one of my first head-scratching hypotheses, but I couldn't mentally confirm it with "and here is where the folder location is kept".

Thanks! All I had to do was close the notebook called "OneNote Notebook 2007" or something like that. It contained all my notebooks as section groups and as soon as I closed it they all became notebooks again!
