Get Rid of the Office Live Workspaces Pop Up

If you use Microsoft Update you probably get these annoying popup every time you open Word / PowerPoint / other Office 2007 applications.



The Office Live Workspaces feature comes with some feature installed by Microsoft Update. I tried logging but the popup is still there every time I open an Office 2007 application.

So here's what to do if you don't want this popup:
  1. Open the Windows Registry Editor
  2. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft
  3. Create a new key named "OfficeLive"
  4. Close the Registry Editor
Now the the "Do not show me this message again" actually works!

  1. That worked on my Office 2003 in Vista.
    Many many many many thanks. Really!
    [It was really peeing me off!!]
    Interestingly, although I have five user accounts on this PC, the popup only happened on one. Of course it was the most used one.
