turn off auto fill options box Excel 2003

If I fill cells by dragging a formula down a column, Excel inserts a Fill
Option box offering a "choice of fillings" - copy, fill with format and fill
without format. Is it possible to stop this box appearing? I do not think it
was part of Office 2000.

Tools-->Options-->Edit tab, and uncheck Show Paste Options button.
