Q. How can I stop the "Send to onenote" from constantly reappearing in my task-bar?

A. Go to File > Options > Display to get to these options. Uncheck this first option of “Place OneNote icon in the notification area of the task-bar”.

    You know, this is great except for the whole thing about the checkbox in "Send to OneNote" that says "Start with OneNote" that when unchecked, still starts. Disabling the systray icon is not a valid solution for this as it disables the shortcut functionality of OneNote in the background. The "Send to OneNote" dialog box should just actually follow the value  of the checkbox within itself and not start when it's unchecked.

    I would think this setting allows OneNote (the application) to get 'closed' and appear in notification area vs. minimizing and having a taskbar icon.  I would think removing the "Send to OneNote" icon from Notification area is done by going to Start/All Programs/Startup and deleting the Send to OneNote shortcut.  

    I see this tip (above) all over the web and this sticks out as not quite being accurate (unless this checkbox text is a bit inaccurate in its description).

    That doesn't do a thing for the process still running even though I don't want it to.

    Same issue here. OneNote 2016 (purchased).  The option just turns off the tray icon but the process is still running, and I'd rather it not be running if I'm not using it.

    I got rid of it (and others) by using Autoruns from Windows SysInternals Suite.
