Which would you like to see? How to rearrange the toolbars like an OCD
madman or save that rearrangement so you don't have to be an OCD madman
like me every 4 months?

I have found that copying the toolbars.dat file out of OneNote's
Application Data folder works with the toolbars. However, the
preferences.dat doesn't seem to help at all for the other settings.

I have often found that a few hours poking around in the registry, in the
"Application Data" folders, and in the "Local Settings/Application Data
folders" can be a good investment if it saves you reconfiguring an
application a few hundred times. I can usually find a few files and
registry settings that can simply be copied over rather than running
through a long list of configurations with all the associated
possibilities for human error. Hunting and gathering configuration
settings can be a good hobby to get into if you want to make your life as
a support technician or network manager a little easier.
