You can safely remove this Office shortcut although it may not be the
cause of the problem. Check your startup settings to find out what is
causing this. Applications that start with Windows can be found here:
- the WIN.INI, section [windows], entries "run=" and "load="
- the Registry keys
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\RunServices
- the folders
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\ALL USERS\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP
C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\{username}\START MENU\PROGRAMS\STARTUP

Sometimes, when something like this happens uninstalling the software and
then re-intalling all over again may help.

Many thanks to everyone problem sorted. I uninstalled office then
reinstalled. Which with limited knowledge I thought would be the easiest to
try first.

Thanks again.

Is it at all possible to make it so that Word
automatically starts up every time the computer is turned
on? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi,

Navigate to this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\<your login name>\Start
Menu\Programs\Startup

and drop a shortcut to winword.
