Surface Pro 4 pen to open One Note 2016

I read the post on opening OneNote 2013 by clicking on the pen top but it didn't help. I can't find the check box the article talks about in advanced options.  My goal is to open the full (not preview) version of OneNote 2016 when I push the pen button not the app that comes with the Surface. The pen is paired and works fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

That was true until today my friend!! Great news. Go to Windows Store and update the Surface App. Microsoft has finally added pen customization options so that you can click the top button once, twice, or hold it down for a few seconds and launch whichever desktop or modern app you want! I tested it with changing the one click option to OneNote 2016 desktop and it worked perfectly!
