Comment:

I have a system, where whenever you open up word2000, it opens up an old saved file automattically. No matter how you open word, this file always opens when word is opened (instead of a blank word document) is there an option somewhere to click to fix this??

Thanks,
Nathan

YES there is...lets see....Open up Word 2000...click Tools...click Options....in that window you should see a "Startup" Listing in that white box. I THINK....I think your startup file is there. I think you just select the C:\ drive for it and that Word Doc won't pop up again. Now I'm being honest when I say I'm not 100% sure on this...may want to wait for a second comment here.

nope, doesn't look like that helps. I tried puting a file in the dir, on my computer, and nothing happens. So it must be something else. Thanks for the response though. Any other suggestions?

Try opening Word from the command line or add a switch to the command line in the shortcut you use to open Word as described in this MS article "Word Startup (Command-Line) Switches and Their Purpose"
