Skin Change Starts MS Word

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi all,

I've noticed for some time now that whenever I change my WB skin, MS Word 2003 starts automatically. It isn't a big issue, just an annoyance really - but does anyone else have this happen? Are there any ideas for how to stop it?

Many thanks!

It happens to me quite frequently too, I'd also like to know why it happens. It's a bit annnoying.

Do you use Outlook as your email program? If so, do you use MS Word as the mail editor?

I know I'm shooting in the dark here, but when you have the above scenario, word is actually running in the background, just not visible. Wonder if this would cause it to *show* the application.

Yes I do Dan. I might turn Word off as the editor and see what happens. Thanks!

Thunderbird, my email client, pops up when I change skins in WB....it happens because it's running, just in the background. That's my stab at it.

the problem I have is that when I load any skin word locks up when it tries to load. Anyone else have this kind of problem?
