4. Create a shortcut on your desktop and past this link in. This link should launch directly to one note instead of to your browser.

When I use the solution posted here, my link works when I paste it into the browser address bar, but when I try to create the same link in a SharePoint document library I get the message "please enter a valid URL," and doesn't allow me to create the link. I need the notebook link to reside in a shared document library but was hoping it would open in the app. Any other ideas? Thanks!
