Auto start Office2000 shortcut Bar

[Scott Andersen]

I need to have the OSB/2000 start automatically with out
user input. The default brings up the user dialect asking
if the user wants Office Shortcut Bar to start next time.
I dont want the user interface I just want the bar to load
no matter who logs in.

Is there a flag I can put on the end of the MSOFFICE.EXE?

Any Help will be appreciated

Hi Scott,

Put it in the users' Programs/ STARTUP folder.

Hi Cindy,

I have put it there but it still brings up a user input
box asking if they want office shortcut bar to start
evrytime they log in. I want to skip that user
interface...Im sure there must a switch or something to
bypass that user input box. I just cant find it.

I can't recall having ever seen that from the STARTUP
folder, only when I've closed it during a Windows session.
but I suspect it sets a Registry key, so you could say
"Yes" and go looking for the key (somewhere under
CurrentUser-software-microsoft-office-9.0)

Or you might try asking in the office.setup newsgroup (NOT
a Dev group).
