I don't know why it's there, but every time I install office I remove that junk from the Startup folder. Maybe it's for integrity checking or something. It works perfectly well without it.

I never have understood why it's there either. As VBboy mentioned, I uninstall the Office startup from the folder and make sure that the Office toolbar gets moved to the Startup folder....

It's there to make Office load faster, they don't have anything like IE where tons of things load the libraries early so they run that program that loads them all.

I'm sorry, tons of things load the libraries? :p

Yes, explorer, help, control panel, etc. I guess it should really be library though, since it's really just MSHTML.dll, the rest is just other things like winsock and mfc (or whatever they used for the UI).
