Every time I close Microsoft Word 2000, even if I just open it to a blank document and close it right away, I get the message, “Do you want to save changes you have made to EZPHOTO.DOT?” Also, on my Word toolbar there are about 10 buttons in a row that say “EZP”, which if I hover my mouse over say “Launch Easy Photo.” Does anyone know how I can exorcise this demon from my computer? I’ve looked in Add/Remove Programs, and can’t find anything called Easy Photo or anything like it. Thanks. ---

I found a [Microsoft Knowledge Base](http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q224727) on the subject. Hopefully the information here will help you. ---

Thanks. I uninstalled Adobe Photo Deluxe, and that took care of the problem. I think EZ-Photo is part of the Photo Deluxe package.
