Why does Microsoft Office 2007 have to run a config or setup everytime I use it?

If I clear my cache and then try to use a an Office 07 application it runs a config setup like its being run for the first time. It can take a few minutes and is VERY annoying. Anyone know anything about this? Office 07 seems very bloated and I'm thinking about going back to 2000 I've been using forever

I use Office 2000 but there are few clever features in Excel 2003 that I might want to use.

I don't know how you clear your cache. Do you mean in Internet Explorer you clear the internet cache?

If you want to disable some of the automatic updates, Run %26gt; MsConfig. You can uncheck programs and SERVICES which load when you boot.

Also you can try Control Panel %26gt; Automatic Updates.

Try this:

Go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE12

and rename folder ''Office Setup Controller'' and see if that helps.
Bloated is an understatement.

That is the main reason, all of the new add ons.
