I am having trouble saving my microsoft onenote files to a usb memory stick.
Is it possible with the 2003 version, or just 2007? If it is possible, how
do I do it?

Aloha Sarah,

It should work fine. How are you trying to save them there and what kind
of trouble are you having?

In OneNote 2007 you can store your notes on a USB drive and sync the notes
between two computers. You can still use your notes even if you don't have
the USB drive with you, because we work out of cache. For more info please

As for OneNote 2003 you can store your notes on a USB drive but if you take
out the drive the notes will be unavailable to you. Otherwise just create
sections and save them to your drive (File-->Save As). I hope this is
clear, if you have more questions please let us know.

As I hope to have your ear:
A problem has come up recently with the *cache*:
A user asked how he could keep all of the data on a stick and not
leave behind any data on the computer when finished working with ON.
If the cache is still sitting on the computer this condition would not
be fulfilled.

My thoughts:
1.) Theoretically the storage place for the cache could be set to the
removable medium too (Tools | Options | Storage).
Would this cause any problem later (given Synchronization would have
been run prior to removing the stick)?

2.) Theoretically *closing* all notebooks and then running
Optimization should remove removed all cached files.
But it seems that this only works in theory.
There always stays a rather big cache file behind.

Is it save to just delete the cache file after having synchronized,
closed the notebooks and run optimization?

Rainald
P.S. A rather odd thing on my side:
Although I have specified a subdir for the cache on my E: partition
(where all my data files are sitting), under %userprofile%\Application
Data\Microsoft\OneNote\12.0\ the other day I found I subdir
"Audiocache" with 10 files, all with the extension "ri".
The biggest one, "main.ri" was > 547MB.
The rest went away in the meantime but the big one did remain (with
the date-time of just now)
What might this be???

I will write a couple quick thoughts:

1) We didn't create OneNote with the parnoid/lab user in mind. I will have
a blog about how to write a batch script that will nuke all of your OneNote
files, etc.

2) Those files are the audio search index.
