Glad it worked out. I turnoff everything that starts up automatically and NEVER used the Office Shortcut Bar. Every little bit of resources helps sometimes. /glenda=20 -----Original Message----- From: Lola Foote [mailto:ljfoote@xxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 08:18 PM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Office Shortcut Bar Thanks for the help everyone! And the Winner Is! Glenda Wells! I found the Startup folder under Windows\Start Menu\Programs|Startup, found the Office Shortcut Bar, dragged it to the desktop, kissed it goodbye and deleted it. Thank you so much Glenda. I wouldn't be so anxious to get rid of it but I can't update Office anymore because it's 97 Professional and I couldn't access any of the components without updating. Really appreciate your help. Also it took up 4% of resources.
