When you copy multiple items in any of the Microsoft Office programs, the Office Clipboard appears, allowing you to collect and paste multiple items stored in the toolbar. This tweak allows you to prevent the toolbar from automatically appearing.

Open your registry and find the key below where [version] is either "9.0" for Office 2000 or "10.0" for Office XP.

Create or modify the value called "AcbControl" and set it to "1" to disable the toolbar, or "0" to enable it.

Restart Microsoft Office for the change to take effect.


(Default)	REG_SZ	(value not set)
AcbControl	REG_DWORD	0x00000001 (1)


	HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[version]\Common\General

Settings:

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\[version]\Common\General]
Name: AcbControl
Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value: (0 = appears, 1 = disabled)
