Default Can't get Options to Stick

I'm using Word XP. I like to set the Options to turn off most of the
bells and whistles. My options aren't sticking. They used to stick. I
recall that Acrobat once interfered with Word 2000 in that fashion. Acrobat
doesn't seem to be the culprit here -- Word & Acrobat have been playing
nicely lately.
But -- I installed LexisNexis Citation Tools (an add-in with its own
toolbar), and wonder if that can be interfering?
Short of uninstsalling the Citation Tools, what can I do to get the
Options to stick? Is there a tweak or reg hack that will let me use both?
I use Word for legal documents.

Does unselecting the Add-In (Tools | Templates and Add-Ins; and only
activate it when in need) help?

If that add-in is in your Word (or Office) startup folder it will always
start with Word. If you want to use it only as required, move it to another
folder then add it to tools templates and add-ins from that folder, then
uncheck it until required.

Yes, the add-in starts every time. I've been looking for the Word Startup
folder. I searched Startup in Documents & Settings. No joy. Can you tell
me where it might be hiding?

Thank you, Graham. I found it and moved the add-in to another folder
(Startup In Waiting). ??? It should work fine now.
