I have a new computer with Vista and Office 2007. I had installed Office 2007
on my previous, XP computer, and I also work with it at home, on a 2 year old
laptop with Vista.
On this new computer, though, every time I open Word or Excel, I get a pop
up offering to "get started with" Office Live Workspace. There is a checkbox
marked "do not show me this message again". It's checked off, however it
seems ineffective, because EVERYTIME I open Word or Excel, the pop up is
back. It's irritating. Does someone know how to really "not show me this
message again"?

I have the same problem on newly installed Word 2007 on XP, and it's really
annoying. Any suggestions?

A registry fix will solve this problem.

I used the let me "Fix it for me" option. Worked like a champ.
