Kill all Task Panes?

I've just been upgraded from XL 2000 to XL XP, so Task Panes are new to me.
Is there some code I could put in Personal or wherever else to kill any Task
Pane that wants to come up? Or do I just have to deselect every option on
each one individually?

This works on Excel 2003 SP1, but not SP2 for some reason. You migh
try this:

1. Quit any programs that are running.
2. Click Start, and then click Run. Type regedit and click OK.
3. In the Registry Editor, click to select the following subkey
(folder):
HKey_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\General
4. On the Edit menu, point to New and click DWORD Value. With New Valu

#1 selected, type AcbControl, and then press ENTER.
5. On the Edit menu, click Modify. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box

click Decimal under Base. Type 1 in the Value data box. Click OK and
quit the Registry Editor
