Toolbar Troubles

[TinyDancer]

Ever since my company loaded Windows XP, whenever I open Excel or Wor
random Toolbars pop up. Even after I go and close them, when i ope
the application again they are there again. It's mostly the Reviewin
and Mail Merge Toolbars, both of which i never use.

Does anyone know of a way to Save the Toolbar settings to ONLY show th
ones I want? It's driving me crazy!

Thanks for any suggestions!

The Reviewing toolbar in Excel pops up whenever you open a workbook that has
been emailed from within Excel "for review". There may be other ways to
make this happen too. If you do a File, Properties you'll see the custom
file properties that have been added that triggers this.

You can kill the added file properties manually or run the below macro to do
it. This macro is in my Personal and attached to a toolbar button because I
feel the same way as you about this toolbar.

If the toolbar pops up every time you start Excel then perhaps there is a
workbook in your XLSTART folder that is the cause.
