PLEASE HELP!

[Kodie]

When I open word a start bar comes up on the right hand side. It lists all
the documents opened and then you simply click on the one you want to open. I
share this computer with other members of my family and would like to know
how to remove this. Thank you please help

As far as I know, you can't.

I think what's behind your question is the need for security, and to
prevent others from accessing your documents. You do this by either not
sharing the computer with others, or if you have NT, Win 2000, or XP,
you setup individual accounts for each of the users of the machine. This
will segregate access to the files (assuming everyone keeps the
passwords secret to themselves.

Read more about this, if you have XP, in the Help files about System
Admininstration.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Sounds like your using word 2003.

Go to Tools::Options::View Tab::Uncheck startup task pane.

Also go to the 'general' tab and uncheck 'recently used files list'.

This is probably the easiest method to use without having to worry about
creating separate accounts for family members.

Hope this helps!
