Windows & Office had to be reinstalled. I had to restore from backup, and I
found I was missing all of my customized note flag settings. None of the
documentation I read, nor OneNote's own backup utility mentioned anything
about this. If you customize your note flags don't make the same mistake I
did!
I found no support for this on any web search or microsoft search, but I dug
around and found the preferences.dat file that saves onenote flag settings.
c:\documents and settings\your user name\application data\microsoft\onenote
You have to view system folders and hidden files/folders in order to see the
directory.
I only knew to look because we make extensive use of autotext here at work
and the Normal.dot file is another item that is not backed up by default
through the files and settings transfer wizard. I have to make sure to grab
it whenever certain people in the office get a new computer.
