Hi,

Please follow the steps below to achieve the goal:

1. Create a shortcut for OneNote on your desktop. (Right-click on desktop > New > Shortcut > Browse to OneNote.exe)

2. Open OneNote and change to the specific page that you want to set as the default opening view.

3. On the right-side pane (page lists), right-click the specific page and select Copy Link to Page.

4. In a blank OneNote page or a Word document, press Ctrl + V to paste the copied link.

5. Right-click the hyperlink you just pasted and select Edit Link. Copy the address showing in the Address field.

6. Go to desktop and right-click the OneNote shortcut, select Properties.

7. Under Shortcut tab, in the Target field, add a space character and /hyperlink behind the default path, and then press Ctrl + V to paste the copied OneNote page link at the end.

8. Click OK. Now when we double-click the OneNote shortcut from desktop, it will open to the default page you set.

Hope this helps.

Although this works, OneNote 2016 now throws a warning about the dangers of hyperlinks every time the app starts with this icon.  Is there a way to whitelist a hyperlink?

TIA,
