Turn off Template Task pane auto open in Visio 2003

[Jaferg3]

Whenever I open an existing drawing in Visio 2003, the task pane comes up to
suggest templates. How do I stop this from happening.

From this article:

mentions the following:
"If you have Office 2003 installed, the first time you download a template
and it opens in its Office program, a dialog box appears telling you that
links to additional assistance and resources are available for templates, and
asking you if you want to automatically download and display these links. If
you click Yes, a pane opens along the right side of the Office program."

I'm sure I did this. So how do I go back and tell it NO and stop opening the
templates pane?

To disable "Template Task Pane" in Visio 2003, following steps would help:

1. Start Registry editor.

2. Goto this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General

3. Double click on the value "NoAutoTTP"

4. Change the value data to 1 and click OK

5. Close the registry editor
