Task Pane

Can anyone help me to re-enable the task pane to show on starting exel (XP).
I disabled earlier and now I can't seem to get it to remain.

Any suggestions appreciated.

thanks

Roberto/Dave,

I tried this and although it shows briefly while excel is loading, it then
goes to a new work book in the full screen. What I am wanting is to open a
new workbook with the task pane showing on the right hand side with out
having to go to menu view - Task Pane. I am sure this is how it was working
when I first installed XP.

Thanks for your responses.

If you know how to use the registry editor (Start->Run "Regedit") add the
Dword item "DoNotDismissFileNewTaskPane" under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General and assign
it the value 1.

11.0 is xl2003. You'd use 10.0 for xl2002.
