Disable Office 2003 Clipboard Permanently

Posted by Mitch on Oct 06, 2009 under Office Tips | 1 Comment

I use Excel a lot. Every time I launch it, it wants to display the Office Clipboard toolbar in the side panel. It’s annoying! Luckily I found out how to prevent it from appearing.

1. Hold down the Windows Key and press R, or click Start > Run.

2. Type regedit and click OK.

3. Navigate to the following:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER
• Software
• Microsoft
• Office
• 11.0
• Common
• General

4. Right click General and select New > DWORD Value.

5. Give it a name of AcbControl and press Enter.

6. Double-click AcbControl and click Edit.

7. Give it a value of 1 and click OK.

Now the Office clipboard should no longer make an appearance.
