Hi,1. Which internet browser are you using?Method 1.I suspect that there are some spreadsheets in the start menu folder. You can remove the unwanted files and shortcuts. Here is how:a. Begin by first clicking on the Start Button.b. Then click on the Control Panel icon located in the right column of the Start Menu.c. Now click on the Taskbar and Start Menu icon to display its Properties Window.d. If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, then begin by clicking on the Start Button.e. Then click on Settings, then click on the Taskbar and Start Menu icon to display its Properties.f. Now, click on the Start Menu Tab at the top of the screen.g. Then Click on Customize button at the bottom right side of the screen.h. Now Click on the Advanced button on the right hand side of the screen.i. Windows XP will take you to the C:\Windows\Start Menu folder through Windows Explorer.j. Now use your mouse to highlight any unwanted program shortcuts such as registration reminders.k. Then press the delete key on your keyboard to remove them from the Start Up folder.l. Continue to highlight and delete until you have satisfactorily removed all unwanted programs.m. Then close the Windows Explorer Window and all open Taskbar Properties Windows.n. And Reboot your Computer to initiate your changes.Method 2.Refer to the article below which explains how to customize the pop up blocker settings.How to configure the Pop-up Blocker on a computer that is running Windows XP Service Pack 2http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843016Hope this helps.Thanks and Regards:Shekhar S - Microsoft Support.

Shekar Thanks for your reply.I'm using IE8 with windows XP service pack 3.Tried your sugestion and cleaned the start menu.I'm still having a problem with works spreadsheet.I get this message-works cannot open another spreadsheet or data base you can have only six spreadsheets or data base open at one time.Close at least one spreadsheet ordata base and then try again.
