Get rid of Office Clipboard

[Cheryl]

Hi,
I have a user that wants to get rid of the Office
Clipboard permanently but when he goes to Options and
checks off "collect without showing office clipboard" it
only works until he reboots and then the clipboard is back.

Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the Office
clipboard permanently?

Thanks so much!
Cheryl

Tell him his "mommy wants him".

It differs between versions

Thanks,

try
HELP>Hide the office assistant (second line)

Oh - it's not the Office Assistant. It's the Office
Clipboard when you copy and paste. I did what Help said to
do but it comes back when you reboot.
Thanks,
Cheryl

I'm not sure what you did, but I followed the Help's instructions.

Edit|office clipboard (showed it)
then
Options at the bottom of the office clipboard
and changed it to "collect without showing office clipboard"

It works ok for me.

Is that what you did?

Hi,
Yes. That's exactly what I did but the user said that the
next day, the clipboard was back. I was looking for
another way to get rid of it permanently like delete the
file or something.
Thanks,
Cheryl

I bet that this is stored in the registry somewhere.

Jim Rech posted this that may help:

But since this setting isn't getting saved in the registry (for some strange
reason???), maybe you could put a workbook in your XLStart folder that contains
a macro to disable it (and then closes itself).

Option Explicit
Sub auto_open()

Application.CommandBars("Task Pane").Enabled = False
'ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False

End Sub

(I commented the last line to keep the file open while you're testing.)

Actually, I'm not sure the macro will work. It might appear, but not allow you
to do anything.

(I couldn't test it. toggling the setting worked for me.)

Thanks so much!
I'll try it out. Thanks for the help!
