Onenote needs a password to your skydrive account error (0xE0000024)

Skip this post unless you're having a problem where onenote starts asking for the password to your skydrive account.  Solution copied from here.



Onenote is my digital brain, and like my real brain sometimes it gets confused :) For example, twice onenote has said the password to my skydrive account is invalid(*), and refused to allow me to re-enter the password, making onenote effectively useless.



The fix in Windows 8 for when this happens again:

 Search -> Settings -> Credentials.

 Select - MicrosoftOffice15_Data....

 Remove



Restart onenote, and you'll now be able to enter your account password.



(*) I think the thing corrupting my credentials is moving time on my machine into the future.

Cool Tools: Recuva (File Undelete)

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but before I knew it I'd erased all the photo's on my camera's SD  card before the files were copied to my machine. After several seconds of swearing, and several minutes of panic, I realized there must be an undelete app. I found a free one, and it worked like a charm.



The undelete app is called Recuva,  it's free, and it worked like a charm to recover my erased files.  A  tip for you, when installing this app be sure to unclick "install bloatware" which is bundled with this recovery tool.
