How to stop oppening greeting window at startup?

**zbor** · 05-30-2009, 05:52 AM

Every time I open Excel (Actually anything from Office) I get this greeting window and I can't turn it off.

- I have latest updates
- It doesn't appear at my other User account on same computer

Any ideas where I can turn it off?

Uncheck the check-box which is at the left hand side (bottom) of the pop-up screen( See the check box in the attachment what you have attached)

I try checked, unchecked, close, continue with all possibilities... nothing help

But regardless of that, I think it should be checked because it said: Do not show this message again... Then it should be checked?

But since it's the same, I was wondering is there something in Options (I didn't manage to find) where I can force not showing...

My apologies I miss read the information shown on left corner.

The problem is that it is looking for a registry key that doesn’t exist in the current user’s registry and therefore it doesn’t write the value which allows the popup to honor the setting of the checkbox.

Try define an OfficeLive registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft.
