What is (or what creates or uses) "fast.pip" ?

[Office Guy]

Background:

..pip files are associated with or contain settings for MS Office
Personalized Menus and Toolbars. Perhaps .pip files are associated
only with office 2K and older - or perhaps with all versions of
Office.

In any case, I see that there are .pip files associated with word,
excel, etc, such as "word.pip", "excel.pip", "access.pip", etc.

There is also a file that has the name "fast.pip" that I'm not able to
find any information on. What Office application stores it's menu and
toolbar personalization information in the file "fast.pip" ???

Hi guy,

Do you have the now discontinued MS Office FindFast Indexer installed with Office 2000 by any chance (check in the list of installed
features for Microsoft Office in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel).
