In reply to: all my folders are read only
No need to guess if a folder is read only. It's a property you can set or clear, and see both in File Explorer and in the command prompt.
Clarification request: I have never used a forum before so maybe I should be in newbies or start another thread - apologies if not following correct procedure.
July 1st 2018 Win 10 update did NOT save a RESTORE Point on my computer! It caused multiple issues. One problem you just resolved is that it made all the Onenote 2007 files read only and I just fixed that thanks to your note here.
It also converted the ONENOTE 2007 file folder files to OneNote 2016 (requiring of course that I sign up for Office 365 - which I do not want or need.) And yet again, the July 1, 2018 Win Update did NOT save a restore point within the program.
However, thankfully, I had a startup shortcut tile which is still taking me to (I am guessing) some backup version of OneNote 2007 which has always apparently made automatic copies somewhere.
This allows me to still open a duplicate in the old 2007 format and still saves in 2007. I want to save this version to a flash drive but I can't find the file path!!
I am guessing that within a file folder called PANTHER which contains compressed files called PANTHER, that a sub folder all appdata may be where the original files are stored. But I don't want to use Microsoft Store to get their app to try to decompress them. And contacting Microsoft chat employees has not proven worthwhile as I seem to find people who know even less than I do there - which is saying alot! So that's why I am asking here if someone can help me.
Bearing in mind that I am not a power computer user, can you or anyone else who is familiar with the 2007 version of OneNote give me some simple steps to make a copy of the 2007 Onenote file folders?
I am guessing that I may have to put a copy of the OneNote 2007 program onto a flash drive first. I do own the disc. Then copy the pages I want to save one by one by cutting and pasting. Tedious to say the least!!
This is because I can't see the file path anywhere within the open OneNote 2007 version I can still use as 2007.
Any help would be appreciated. I'd like to do this before the August 16th Win 10 update does further damage or wipes the 2007 files completely. I have set the permission for this update for Sunday but think I can reset it to a further date yet.
Thanks. Let me know if I should paste and copy this Q into the newbies forum.
Cheers, "yourHELPisappreciated"
