Excel 2003 Clipboard-How to permanently disable?

S

Scott

I have a user who wants to permanently diable/hide the Excel clipboard from
appearing. I have found that changing the value of the registry key
AcbControl from 0 to 1 is supposed to diable it. I have done that but later
in the day, an Excel file is being worked on and the clipboard comes back. I
checked the registry key and it has changed itself back to 0(turned on). Is
there something in the properties of indivual spreadsheets that is turning
the clipboard back on? I am sure i am missing some obscure setting but
cannot seem to find it.

showing clipboard"

OR set to "show clipboard when ctrl + c is pressed twice:
