Excel ActiveX Warning Disable

[Stuey]

I recently installed JustWrite Office 4, a utility that came with my Wacom Graphire 4 tablet.

It installs a toolbar in MS Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. Word and Powerpoint act normally, but Excel gives me an ActiveX warning upon starting the program. I disabled this warning via the registry, from advice from MS's website. I set the UFIControls key to 1 to not prompt the warning everytime.

My question is this... how can I achieve the same effect without rending every office product to ActiveX infection? The key is in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Common\Security\ directory, and as such, every Office program will run any ActiveX control. I really don't feel comfortable with this, but I cannot stand having to deal with a prompt every time I start Excel.

Thank you!

*BUMP* Anybody?

Well, not that anybody cares, but due to software inadequacies, I am removing the offending software from my system. It is a utility that comes packaged with a graphics tablet yet it does not offer multi-monitor support. After several frustrations, I determined that the extra steps I take to produce similar effects is worth the trouble I save from using a POS program.

If you want to see what I'm talking about, take a look at their sub-par help page. Only now do I see that they have instructions as to how to fix the Excel error, but seriously... who writes program code and then tells users to alter their registry to fix their problems themselves!!! *ANGRY*
