One of those things that just make me shake my head...

I have a computer I keep in the company domain.  Someone or something (I don't know who or what and to be honest don't care enough to find out, just enough to document the insanity) appears to have created a policy either at the domain or on my machine that automatically resets the default printer to OneNote.

For starters this is bad because it means that even though I go to the effort to make Printer 'x' my default because it's close to my office, the next time I restart, I instead have my default printer reset to OneNote... which is pretty annoying.

But a better question is why given that I already have an electronic copy of whatever it is I want to print I would want to print it to One Note.... so I could have an electronic copy... 

More importantly it pretty much kills all those nice print short cuts MS put on everything where I can with a single click print whatever I want to my default printer... but, nope doing that just causes my system to pause while OneNote starts - wasting my time - so I can shut OneNote - wasting my time - and go through the full multi-step process of selecting a printer - wasting, well you get the point.

I hate to think that it's just the act of installing OneNote that does this...
