Microsoft Office 2013 - Disable Office Start Screen

Don't you just hate it when the "Office Start Screen" pops-up all the time when all you just wanted to do is to get to your documents fast and easy (just like Office 2010) ?

Now here is a workaround for it, but it involved some registry editing, not for the faint hearted.

1. Run --> CMD --> regedit.

2. Browse to --> HKCU\Microsoft\Software\Office\15.0\Common\General.

2. Create a new "DWORD" key named "DisableBootToOfficeStart".

3. Modify the value to "1 (Hexadecimal)" as shown below.

4. Now restart your computer and all Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. will skip the "Start Screen".

HAPPY COMPUTING !
