EXE: Open OneNote Notebook from OneDrive Sync Folder via the url Internet Shortcut

2020-03-31 07:23
 
We know that the OneNote notebook synced with the OneDrive client in Windows is displayed as a .url file shortcut.
The .url file is actually just a link to https, not a substantive OneNote notebook.
So, as normal, we can't open the OneNote notebook with this .url file.
 
Gem for OneNote add-in, now provides a right-click menu item “Open OneNote Notebook (url)” for using .url file to open the corresponding OneNote notebook.
 

The target "" of this Internet Shortcut is not valid

 
If you try to double-click on the .url file under OneDrive's sync folder, an error window pops up:
 

Problem with Shortcut
The target “” of this Internet Shortcut is not valid. Go to the Internet Shortcut property sheet and make sure the target is correct.

 
 

Open OneNote Notebook (url)

 
Open OneDrive's sync folder.
Right-click on the .url file of a OneNote notebook we want to open.
In the right-click menu -> Sen to -> “Open OneNote Notebook (url)” menu item.

Open OneNote Notebook (url)

Sign in Microsoft Account

 
Next, a sign-in window pops up, and you'll sign in with a Microsoft account same as OneDrive client.

Sign in Microsoft Account

OneNote Open Notebook

 
Once you've successfully signed in, OneNote.exe opens the notebook.
