Getting Started Pane

Is there anyway to keep the Task pane open all the time, so I have access to
the information on it? I know after I start using a workbook and the pane
goes away that I can press ctrl+f1 to get it back, but I would like it to
stay on all the time. Is there some way to do this?

Any help appreciated.

TIA

Sarge

If you know how to use the registry editor (Start->Run "Regedit") add the
Dword item "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General and assign
it the value 1.

====
11.0 is xl2003. You'd use 10.0 for xl2002.
