re: Question about 'Windows Installer Appears Every Time I Start an Application' Tuesday, October 8, 2002 at 8:09 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by trenchermail (1 messages posted) A complete install won't fix the problem. It has to do with profiles. Look up "Default User" on Microsoft's KB. You can create a new profile called "User" & give it admin rights. Then open ALL the office programs you want to run & do all the necessary settings to get them to open & close OK. Then you copy the "User" profile to the "c:\documents and settings\default user" profile. Be sure to use the Profiles tab in the System Properties. Any new user that logs in after that will be using all the default user settings.
