Windows Office Q

[Juliana]

Okay, so I uploaded an older version of Word and Excel onto my computer today, and by "older version" I mean from like 95 (Hey, it was from my Grandma's old computer, and I needed the programs, so I took what I could), and everything is cool, except it added that stupid toolbar/taskbar/shortcut thing to the right side of my computer. Sure, you can do an 'autohide' or whatever to it, but I don't want it on there at all. Is there a way to get rid of it altogether?

Thanks
(sorry for being so useless at this kind of stuff and needing help so often!)

Yeah. I forget exactly how, but it's pretty simple to do.

1) Right click on the bar and look in options or whatever. There's a menu somewhere that lets you turn it off.

2) Just delete the office toolbar program from the startup menu. You can either do this through explorer, or just take the shortcut by navigating through the start button menu (start/programs/startup)

Worked like a charm.

Except now when the computer starts up, a little box pops up that says something to the effect of 'the shortcut to microsoft office yackety smackety...is missing" ....um, or something.

Any more tips/charms?

If you right click the top of the taskbar and opt to close it, it should ask you via a pop-up if you want this feature to auto open/start upon next start-up or log-in ( not sure which one ). Click no and reboot. Hope this works and/or helps.
