Storing oneonte notebooks to a server

[John]

At our school we are trying to use onenote as a notebook for our tech class.
I have the notebook setup on our sharepoint server so that students can
accessit from what we call our class site. However their my documents
folders are stored on a server at our district office. What I am finding
though is when they go to a different client station either in my lab or
around the school their notebook isn't there when they open onenote. This is
telling me that OneNote's default is to open from the my notebook folder in
the my documents on the local machine (please correct me if I am wrong on the
terminology). What I would to do is set up onenote to open from the my
notebook folder which is in their my documents on the server. Is there a way
to do this and if so how do I do that (please reference any help pages or
sites that may explain this).

Thanks
John

OneNote keeps a list of open notebooks on each computer. It sounds like
you just need to add the class notebook to each student's profile (I'm
assuming you're using AD?). You can do so by setting
HKCU\software\microsoft\office\12.0\onenote\options\other\addnotebooks
to be the path to the class notebook. This will cause that notebook to
be opened whenever a student runs OneNote on some computer for the first
time. They will be able to close the notebook, in which case they will
need to reopen it manually if they later want to get to it again from
the same computer.
