Using a OneNote shortcut in the 'Send To' folder

[Paul]

Since it's a program to collecting things together, I put a OneNote shortcut
in my 'Send To' folder, I thought it made sense, so I could send things
straing to OneNote..

However OneNote refuses to open anything that's not a OneNote file. Is there
anyway I can achieve a similar effect?

Q: What are the top 3 types of information you want to put in
OneNote ?
Q: What are the top 5 programs where this information is ?

OneNote is unlikely to function as the be all and end all information
repository.

Yes, I'm pretty new to OneNote, it's going to take a while to get the hang of
it! It's very different to the sort of software I'm used to.

I thought that you could attatch links to documents in OneNote (I'm not sure
you can now) and I thought that this would be a good way to insert them.

I need to explore more!

Perhaps, but so far it's the front-runner for me. I keep TONS of
information in OneNote, usually just to keep it handy for reference
later on (stuff like IT procedures, checklists, etc.) but more and
more I'm finding new things to store in ON. I wouldn't be surprised
if things got to the point where nearly everything on my system is in
either OneNote or Outlook. (I think my boss is getting a little sick
of me talking about how cool OneNote is....)

Give me some reasons why you can't do the same in Word and Text Files
with Outlook ?

or
why you couldn't do all that in http://shared.snapgrid.com/index.html
Getting Things Done - Tiddlywiki .. which would be more portable and
more standards compliant, and help you get things done .

It's not a matter of "can't" but rather it's just far more convenient
to do so in OneNote:

- Stuff I get in email that I want to preserve outside of Outlook?
Simple, just click the Send to OneNote button in Outlook 2007.
- Web pages of information to save for later, like the "invoices" and
whatnot that come up when buying via the Web? Same thing, with IE7.
- IM discussions to preserve for reference? Use the "Send to OneNote"
print driver.
- Record a meeting, with notes? Plug in a mic, bring up OneNote and
save the recording with the note.
- House hunting? We did this recently. I used my PocketPC for notes
about each house, as I took pictures with my digital camera. After
syncing the PDA to get the notes onto the laptop, I downloaded the
pictures from the camera and pasted them in with my notes. Now my
notes are complete with the pictures to go with, so I don't have to
scratch my head later on to try to remember which house it was that I
was talking about.
- Make a quick note about a phone conversation, or copy down info from
playing back a voicemail message, or a little something that flits
through my brain? No need to hunt for a piece of paper, just
Windows-N and make a Side Note. Flag it for action later, if
necessary, and it shows up in my Outlook tasks.

....and on and on. It just works so seamlessly and easily for me that
I can't imagine needing to use anything else. I could use Word
documents and Notepad for a lot of this, but then I wind up with docs
and txts scattered all over the place, plus I have to name them right
then and there in order to save them. OneNote: just hit a hotkey to
make a note, then move on. I can go back later on when time permits
and take care of the fine tuning, so to speak.
