Is there any way to stop Word 2003 from making such a grand purple fuss after it
crashes? In prior versions I could delete the temp-file debris, relaunch, and
be back to work in under 30 seconds. Now I must [1] listen to its plaintive
whimper about sending an error report, AND [2] endure the pointless (for me)
task pane that insists on me confirming that I want to reopen the recovered
files. It's like an old lady smothering a kid who's scraped his knee, refusing
to let him return to the playground right away.

Both of these processes happen quite slowly on my (new and very fast) machine.
I can't think of an instance when I *wouldn't* want to reopen what I was working
on and get back to business, but I'd rather do it without grandma serving it to
me on a doily. Is there a switch or registry hack somewhere that'll cut that
stuff out, or at least speed it up?

TIA
