Remove "Shared Workspaces"

Stanz · 04-14-2009, 07:38 AM

I am currently building an XP image and I need to remove all of the "Shared workspaces" abilities found under "Tools" in MS Office 2003. I have tried to add/remove Microsoft Office addons to find the correct piece to uninstall but I have not found it.. I have tried searching all of the net to find out how to do this but I have nothing. This menu appears when you click tools in microsoft word/excel 2003.

My users do not use this feature and it would be great to remove it to prevent confusion. Please see screenshot.

Please help?

Thanks,
Stanz

Don't have the exact fix since I've not wanted to remove it and don't have the time to do a complete install, but I'd try doing a custom install of office and remove traces of Sharepoint services since I believe the shared workspace options specifically relate to that.

That's what I was afraid of :(

Thanks though for responding!
