Microsoft OneNote (2010 version featured here) is a powerful e-filing cabinet. It is easy to use and has many features which will provide you with quick access to all the data stored in your filing cabinet.
OneNote is a free form notepad that enables a user to copy and paste text, images, videos, and emails onto a page and save the page in a notebook within a folder.
Here is a screenshot of one page of information in my filing cabinet. At the top of the application window you see a ribbon toolbar, currently the HOME tab of the toolbar is selected. Each tab provides a toolbar with specific features that are quick to find and intuitive for new users. Just below the ribbon toolbar, the window is divided into 3 sections which are (from left to right) Notebooks, Folders, and Pages. The Notebooks section will list all of your notebooks.

OneNote is a Digital Filing Cabinet
Currently we are viewing the BTG SOLUTIONS folder. In the first section you can see that this notebook is selected and you can see the folders that are defined within this notebook. In the middle section you are able to see a page found in the BTG DOMAIN folder entitled "Twitter Design - to follow colors on website". You can see the day, date and time this page was created. OneNote automatically adds the date and time stamp to your entries. The contents of this page is an image of a screen related to my Twitter account setup. In the third section on the right you can see each page within the BTG DOMAIN folder.
OneNote Has a Powerful Search Feature

One of the most impressive features of OneNote 2010 is the ability to search all pages and provide a "short list" of the pages that meet the search criteria. Here I have entered "design" as the search criteria. OneNote provides me with quick links to pages that meet my search criteria. It breaks down the results by pages that contain "design" in the title and by pages that contain the word in the body of the page. You can see that all folders and notebooks have been searched. That's a deep level of search and it's speedy quick.
