Click OK. You'll be prompted to restart your system, so do it. Word shouldn't come up any more. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word |

Word 10 autolaunch problem
OK, instead of hacking at this piecemeal, let's go through the whole
list of how programs can start automatically at boot time. 1. In C:\Documents and Settings, you will find a folder for each logon identity, plus ones for Administrator, All Users, and Default User. Under each of those folders you may see the path ...\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. Any one of those may contain a shortcut to Winword.exe or to a Word document. 2. In the registry, you may find the path to Winword.exe or a document listed as an entry under the keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run 3. Winword.exe may be listed in the file autoexec.bat in the C:\ folder. Windows XP doesn't need an autoexec.bat at all; mine exists but is empty. 4. Conceivably, something (a program or batch file) in one of those places could start Word. This is unlikely but possible. Under most conditions I would expect msconfig to list any of these, but I suppose it could miss something, such as autoexec.
