Microsoft Office 2000 introduced personalized menus (or adaptive menus) that remembers which items you use regularly and hides items you don't. This tweak allows you to enable or control this functionality.

Exit all open Office 2000 applications, including Word, Excel, Access and Outlook.

Open your registry and find the key below, if it does not exist create it.

Create a new DWORD value named 'AdaptiveMenus' and set the value to '0' for disabled and '1' for enabled.

Exit the registry and restart the Office applications for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
AdaptiveMenus	REG_DWORD	0x00000000 (0)


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Toolbars

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Toolbars]
Name: AdaptiveMenus
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
