OneNote battery options: eek out more battery life

Here’s a OneNote setting I never stumbled across but William at The Student Tablet PC did: you can reduce the frequency of OneNote background activities to stretch that battery just a wee bit farther. Remember that similar to Vista and Windows Desktop Search for XP/2000, OneNote is indexing your chicken scratch, audio recordings, OCR from photos, typed text and more in the background. That effort takes extra processing power and a little disk I/O, so by reducing the frequency in this setting, you’ll theoretically use less battery power. Of course, you might have to wait longer for recent items to be indexed, but as we say in the mobile tech world, it’s all about compromise. Nice find William!
