I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

I have a program that interacts with many files, opens them for viewing,
sometimes performs an action, etc.

Some files when opened automatically cause the Web toolbar to display, which
is annoying enough, but it is also floating over the spreadsheet blocking the
view.

Apart from coding something to see if the toolbar is visible, and then
turning it off, how can I kill this activity? I mean surely there is a way to
switch it off???

Thanks in advance.
