As more and more applications integrate with Evernote, it’s important to have the correct Notebook set as the default to ensure messages and notes end up in the correct one.
First, open Evernote and Right-Click on a notebook you want to set as your default. From the context menu, Click Properties.
Check the box Make this my Default Notebook and Click OK to save.

The check box is greyed on some notebooks
Don’t know why!

@CoolRaoul:disqus That is odd. You need to figure out what is different about those notebooks. Are they empty? Shared? New? Old?
Create a few new notebooks and see if you have a problem.

It seem that only *shared* (synchronized) notebooks can be set as “default”.
Not possible for local notebooks.
Don’t understand why
