Question on Office Shortcut Bar

[Pat Willener]

I have used Office 2000 for several years, and I find the Shortcut Bar
immensely useful.

I have recently upgraded to Office 2003 and was a bit surprised that there
is no more Shortcut Bar. But, as the Office 9 SB was not explicitly
uninstalled, I can just double-click on MSOFFICE.EXE and I have my SB back.

The problem is that it won't autostart any more when I reboot my Win XP.
When I explicitly exit the SB I get a pop-up "You are closing the Office
Shortcut Bar. The Office Shortcut Bar will start again automatically when
you start Windows. Do you want the Office Shortcut Bar to start automaticlly
when you start Windows? [Yes] [No]".

Naturally I click [Yes] but the SB won't start when I reboot Windows.
Question: where should this auto-start be? I know it was not on the start
menu. When I run msconfig, I cannot see it anywhere.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Just put a shortcut to MSOFFICE.EXE into the Startup group in your Start,
All Programs menu.

Make your own shortcut bar using the Quick Launch bars. Put all the shortcuts
you want in a directory. Use that directory to make the shortcut. Easy.

I complained to Microsoft about taht and they said the
left it out of the 2003 version. Reason, they put an Open
Office Document in the Start, All Programs Menu.
