"Help! There's a paper clip on my Desktop, and it's annoying me to no end. Okay, it's gone... but it's been replaced by a tiny Einstein! I need a little help inside my Microsoft Office applications, but I don't need to be lectured by a cute character." The best way to permanently turn those critters off (without hosing your system), is by opening up the Windows Explorer, navigating to Program Files \ Microsoft Office \ Office, then renaming the 'Actors' folder to 'Dead_Actors' (or something of that nature). They shouldn't bother you again. Thanks to Lockergnomie Mike Bartlett for this tip!
