Default Word 2003 docs - 'wings' - getting rid of permanently

Word 2003 particularly has an irriatting habit of randomly losing some
settings from Tools Options. The easiest workaround is to force the
settings you want in auto macros.
In this case, add the line
Options.AllowClickAndTypeMouse = False
to both an autoopen and an autonew macro in the normal template.

I use Word 2003 on a XP machine. Every time I open a new Word doc, I
get 'wings' attached to the cursor which drives me mad. I can get
rid of them by going into Options/Edit and unclicking Click and Type.
But they come back when I open the next new doc, when Click and Type
is ticked again. How can I get unclicking Click and Type to stick,
so that this problem is solved permanently? I imagine a registry
adjustment would do the trick. Thanks.
