When I have several notebooks open in OneNote, hovering over the icon in the task bar shows each notebook but it displays the name of the page the notebook is open to as opposed to the name of the notebook itself.

This causes confusion as I often have several notebooks with similar page configurations, so showing me the page title doesn’t tell me which notebook I’m opening. Is there a way to change the default to display the name of the notebook instead of the page?

I hate One Note and never ever use it. LoL
