OneNote 2010 remove hyperlink

Question

I'm using MS one note 2010.

In my note, I want to store a note containing \\ string, e.g.

net use \\192.168.0.111\C$ SomePassword /user:SomePC\Administrator

OneNote thinks that \\ and everything after that is a hyperlink.

How can I remove the hyperlink?

When I right click and select "Remove link" it disappears. However the effect is only temporary, the link is restored after e.g. re-opening one note.

How can I make it gone forever?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. It's OK if the solution will disable automatic link creation in all my notes. I'm comfortable pressing Ctrl+K every time I do need a hyperlink.

I have found a kludgy workaround that works in OneNote 2016 on Windows; insert an invisible Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) character between the two forward-slash character. This works even if the URL is prefixed with a protocol such as http:

This can be done by typing /, Alt + 8 2 0 3, / and the rest of the URL ^[1].

This also works to prevent auto-creation of other hyperlinks; For example, insert a ZWJ after typing www, then type the . and the rest of the URL.

[1] Press Alt, type 8 2 0 3 on the numeric keypad, release Alt.

You might want to use Macro to remove and clean hyperlinks.

Here is the link for that.

Go to File → Options → Advanced, unselect Include link to source when pasting from the web.

Inserting a Zero Width Space Invisible Character between the slashes works well for me in OneNote for Windows 10. Type 200b then press Alt-X.

UniCode ZWS on FileFormat.Info

I'm mentioning this because Alt-8203 doesn't work on the Windows 10 version of OneNote; it inserts a new line instead.

Despite existing in every other microsoft product, this UX feature doesn't exist in OneNote (2010 nor 2013, which I just verified as being absent as well)

both these MS forum sources note that this feature doesn't exist, but do suggest pasting from MS word, which may eliminate your problem (despite being overly complicated)

Hope that helps, sorry there isn't a better answer.

P.S. A workable solution would be like @Cricrazy describes, and make a macro to remove hyperlinks with a hotkey after setting up the macro to do so.
