You can set default apps. I use this method. http://deploymentresearch.com/Research/Post/507/Setting-Internet-Explorer-as-your-default-browser-in-Windows-10-during-OS-Deployment
Thanks, Jeff Jerousek 217-793-3800 x1822 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ryan Sent: Saturday, October 3, 2015 1:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mssms] Surface pen open OneNote desktop Yup, that's the only way I've figured out how to do it. The only problem is Get-AppxPackage *OneNote* | Remove-AppXPackage only works if the user has opened the OneNote app once, which is where I'm having problems. So he seems to be doing what I'm doing in the original post. The modern app needs to be opened once by the user before this works. If you run the Remove-AppXProvisioned package, the OneNote app will be completely removed and no new users will get it. Under this condition, the pen will not open the Desktop app because the user never has a chance to run the modern app once first. I don't think my client wants me to spend more time on this now that Microsoft has admitted it's a bug. I found two other fun issues with Windows 10 during this deployment: You can't specify a default app for a program after it's imaged - Sure you can specify a "Default App" through group policy, but app defaults get reset on login so the user will only be able to change it for the time they are logged on. You can't script the task bar pins - The method to script the Start Menu pins is still there, so why would they remove the task bar ones?

Uninstall Universal OneNote by starting an elevated PowerShell session and running the following command: Get-AppxPackage *OneNote* | Remove-AppxPackage 1. Launch regedit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd 2. Create a new Key “Shell” 3. Under shell create a new key “Open” 4. Under open, create a new key “Command” 5. Under command, edit the (Default) REG_SZ entry and enter path to the OneNote desktop executable. The easiest way I found was to open up the “OneNoteDesktop\Shell\Open\Command” registry key that was right below the onenote-cmd key and copy the string from there (without the /hyperlink “%1” ending) to the entry Colin’s article further provides a ZIP with a script to automate the above process… Dunno if this is a help or old news, but here it is FWIW Ed Aldrich Mobile: (401) 924-2293<tel:%28401%29%20924-2293> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [Description: Description: cid:[email protected]] Ent Cli Mgmt (2003-2015)) Sent from my Microsoft Surface From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>] On Behalf Of Ryan Sent: Thursday, October 1, 2015 12:06 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mssms] Surface pen open OneNote desktop The key I've been setting is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\onenote-cmd\Shell\Open\Command and the (Default) property should be pointed towards your OneNote desktop app exe. After setting that, you still need to open the OneNote modern app once, then remove the app, then open OneNote desktop and set it as the default through those prompts. Setting OneNote as the default for everything through Control Panel doesn't actually set it as the default for everything. This has to be done through the desktop app itself. There is probably something in the user registry that bypasses all of this, but I haven't had time to use Process Monitor and search for the key. I think I'll just wait for the fix from Microsoft.

I got word from a Surface lead that this is Microsoft's official stance: https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/touch-mouse-and-search/surface-pen-default-onenote?os=windows-10 It seems like the only way they know how to do it is through the method I described earlier. I imagine if I threw a few more hours into this I could figure it out, but the official statement from Microsoft is good enough for the people I'm working with. Thanks for the responses!

I've been trying, but here are my results: If the modern app is installed then the pen will always open the modern app. If the modern app is removed and a registry key is set at HKEY CLASSES for onenote-cmd, then the desktop version will open when you hit the pen, but only if the modern app was opened once by that user before being removed. Am I missing something? I've spent hours on this and can't get the pen to open the desktop version of OneNote under any other conditions... ________________________________ NOTICE: The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential and may be privileged.
