Change the hotkey in OneNote 2007 ( to )

How to disable or change the Windows+S hotkey in OneNote

OneNote hijacked the Windows+N key on my System and I can't find a way to tell it to use another hotkey, say Windows+t

Windows+N has been used to start 4Nt (now TCMD) on my system for ages and I'd like it to stay that way…

In this case, it is 4NT [violating the Windows specification](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2007/11/30/6605629.aspx): _[Keyboard shortcuts that involve the WINDOWS key are reserved for use by the operating system.](http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms646309(VS.85).aspx)_ — kinokijuf, Jan 01 '13 at 13:18
@kinokijuf You could argue that OneNote is also in violation, as it's not an OS tool but part of Office — Graham Wager, Jan 01 '13 at 16:08
@GrahamWager Of course, as Raymond pointed out in that blog. It’s just your standard anticompetitive stuff. — kinokijuf, Jan 01 '13 at 16:27
@kinokijuf: Actually 4NT violates nothing ... I'd set the hotkey in Winkey ( https://www.copernic.com/winkey/index.html ) and OneNote overrode it. I suspect Winkey is too old) ... Autohotkey (see Lamb's answer below) however works/cooperates corectly with the OS. — lexu, Jan 02 '13 at 15:40

There are many ways to do this:

One way is to kill the OneNote Launcher, (it sits in the taskbar and listen to the HotKey) or you can remove it from the running at Startup. (Press Win+r and type msconfig and go to Startup tab)
Using AutoHotkey, you can get back your Hotkey to do anything of your choice by placing the path to the desired program:
```
#n::Run <Path to the executable>
```

Thanks @Lamb, AutoHotkey works .. unlike WinKey it is not overriden by OneNote. I assume WinKey doesn't know/use the latest API. – lexu Jan 06 '13 at 10:36
