Jane, Try the following sites; the second lists endless registry settings to change the little bugger :) http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/tech/868348 http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/69/04/1.html HTH, Dave. -----Original Message----- From: Jane McQuilkin [mailto:j.mcquilkin@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 January 2003 15:05 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Office Assistant - registry setting Hello, I'm being driven insane by an Office Assistant in Word97 that keeps appearing each time I logon (it's running on Win2k terminal server). I expect there must be a registry setting that isn't being saved correctly. Does anyone know what the registry setting is to turn the Office Assistant off? Or any other good advice...
