OneNote app script details

[Sam]

Hi,

I've spent some time looking in this forum and searching the web to find out what to code in my AutoIt script to start the Windows 10 OneNote app. I can start OneNote 2016 from the script, but lately it is having login problems. Whereas the OneNote app works fine.

Can someone tell me what to code for ShellExecute or Run?

Thanks!

You mean that ? 

Example()

Func Example()
    ShellExecute("C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\OneNote 2016")
EndFunc   ;==>Example

If you need to click on the Sign In button then you will need UIAutomation. You could check my signature. 

 

Also, you could if I'm not false just send enter to Sign In.

Not sure from your question if you're trying to start OneNote 2016 or the OneNote app. If you're looking for the OneNote app then...

It's a UWP app (might stand for Unholy Wreck of a Program). You can't just find the executable file and run it. Instead, you can:

• Associate the "onenote:" protocol handler with OneNote (not 2016)... (I did it by using the below once and selecting "Always run with this program") The colon is important, otherwise it will find onenote.exe from your PATH. Use it like:

ShellExecute("onenote:")
; Or
Run(@ComSpec & " /c start onenote:")

• Use this mess, but it will only ever bring up OneNote (not 2016) as far as I can tell:

ShellExecute("explorer.exe", "shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Office.OneNote_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.onenoteim")
; Or 
Run("explorer.exe shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.Office.OneNote_8wekyb3d8bbwe!microsoft.onenoteim")

Sorry for the confusion. I need to start the OneNote app, not OneNote 2016.

Thanks for the code for the OneNote app!

I want to help you , But it's hard for me.

OneNote works fine, which has been my major note taking app for years.  I prefer handwritten notes to typing, so I connected my XP-Pen digital tablet  to my laptop to use with OneNote.

You trying to help, or be a spam ad message?

Did you report the post?

No, just a very confusing response from an unknown person.

The web link is a red flag in my opinion, since they are new.

Was just giving them the benefit of the doubt.
