Office Shortcut Bar Missing

[Todd McClintock]

The Office Shortcut Bar is no longer automatically started
when I start my computer. I can't even find it in:

start -> programs -> microsoft office tools

I'm using Microsoft Office 2000 SR-1 Premium. I've been
using the Office Shortcut Bar ever since I started using
the computer. One day it just seemed to disappear. I
asked our PC Tech Support guy to fix it. He tried the
repair function using the Office 2000 CD. Now he wants to
reinstall Office 2000 but that sounds extreme to me.

Any ideas?

I am having the same problem but can not fix it. One of
our other machines had the problem we do not know how we
fixed.

Perhaps. I'm using win 98 and Office 2000 shortcut bar. It
disappears. I also can't solve the problem but have a work around.
When it disappears, it not only disappears from the "screen" but it
takes itself out of the start up. Also, I've found it won't reload
because it apparently is still running and you can't get to it, unless
one reboots. Sooo, I do the old CTL-ALT-DEL and from the "tasks," I
remove "product ID," which then allows me to click on alternative
shortcuts in various places that I have established. Clicking on
these shortcuts reestablishes the shortcut. YOu also should close out
of OFFICE, which should cause it to ask you whether you want to have
it start automatically the next time you boot up. Then you simply
click on the shortcut icon to re-establish the shortcut bar.

Of course you have to find the path for the shortcut bar, which I
think can be found by searching for MSOFFICE.exe.
