Office OneNote 2010 Insert Folder into Page

I'm a University student, and I've been using Microsoft Office OneNote 2007 for a while. Recently I purchased a new computer, went to my university bookstore and purchased the Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 suite. 
In OneNote 2007, I could drag and drop a folder, not a file, not a .pdf, a FOLDER, onto any notebook page. As an English major this feature was extremely useful as I could have the folder for all my readings directly on the class page such that I could access all  my class readings without having to go through my cluttered documents folder, etc.
However, I attempted to drag and drop a folder into a OneNote 2010 page today, and it would only paste a link. I don't want a link. I  need the actual folder, as I share all my onenote pages between my laptop (which I take to class) and my desktop (which I use to work at home). How can I insert a folder into a onenote page?

Also, why in god's name did they change this? Its so frustrating and illogical, I'm tempted to return the entire 2010 suite and re-replace it with the 2007 suite just so I can have the functionality back. Not to mention I'm exceptionally pissed off by the fact that I can't just email support without being charged $200 just for a frickin response. And whats more, the forums are so screwy I have no idea where to post this, so I'm just guessing and hoping to god somebody sees this.

In fact this whole experience has me tempted to look for an open source solution to the OneNote program, and microsoft office in general.

Hi Arammil,

I'm sorry for what you've met with.

The reason you couldn't easily find a forum here to discuss issues about OneNote is because most forums here are for IT Professionals community.

For end-user questions and feedbacks, we'd suggest to visit the Answers forum instead: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us

For example, the OneNote forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/onenote

3 years later on OneNote 2013, same crappy deal... And absolutely no help from Microsoft, which I've come to expect.
