Getting Started Pane

[Sarge]

Is there anyway to keep the Task pane open all the time, so I have access to
the information on it? I know after I start using a workbook and the pane
goes away that I can press ctrl+f1 to get it back, but I would like it to
stay on all the time. Is there some way to do this?

Any help appreciated.

TIA

If you know how to use the registry editor (Start->Run "Regedit") add the
Dword item "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General and assign
it the value 1.

11.0 is xl2003. You'd use 10.0 for xl2002.
