	It would appear that the (U.S.) English directory name is =
"Startup". =20
Or at least it is with Office X.  Also with Office X and Acrobat=20
version 6.x, there is a shared library file called "PDFMakerLib" that=20
is placed in /Applications/Microsoft Office X/.  In my experience, any=20=

time you start Acrobat, it checks for the existence of a file with this=20=

name.  If it cannot find it, it recreates the file -- regardless of the=20=

Acrobat settings, as Bruno noted above.  I suspect that the same thing=20=

may happen if one renames or deletes the files Bruno mentioned above,=20
although I cannot test with the latest Office/Acrobat.  However,=20
replacing the file "PDFMakerLib" with a folder of the same name (in the=20=

same location) *does* remove the PDF toolbars from all Office=20
components (again, in my experience with Office X and Acrobat 6) yet=20
fools Acrobat into thinking the shared library file is installed.  HTH.
