How to disable or change the Windows+S hotkey in OneNote

Solution 1:

For OneNote 2007, see Changing the OneNote Screen Clipping and New Side Note keyboard shortcuts. I believe this article will answer your question.

In short, look at this registry key:

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\OneNote\Options\Other

There are two DWORD values ScreenClippingShortcutKey & NewNoteShortcutKey. The default values are:

  • ScreenClippingShortcutKey: 0x53
  • NewNoteShortcutKey: 0x4e

If we look in this ASCII table:

In row 5, column 3 (0x53), we see the S. So, this is where the S of the hotkey is set.

Change it to another value according to the ASCII table to adjust the hotkey.

Solution 2:

Solution 3:

I have found one better solution, it is for Office 2010.

Open "OneNote"--> File --> Options --> Customize Ribbon

Now, in there, you will find "Screen Clipping" under "Popular Commands". In the "Main Tabs" select "Home" , right click and make new group under it. Rename it.

And then click "Add" and Finally "OK". This is for adding Screen Clipping.

To remove or disable it , search screen clipping under existing group and remove it.

This is my first solution on internet after using lots of free solution over internet for my many problems.
