Hi,

What is the purpose of the office for mac os x putting a link to an executable file in the startup folder my login (preferences/login)?

The file is called microsoft database daemon and it has the entourage icon next to it. Have I turned on something in entourage that is consistently putting this file there? If I remove it, it keeps coming back.

Thnx

Diane Ross

The Microsoft Database daemon allows the Reminder to work even if all MS
applications are closed. It's not some hidden evil conspiracy. :-)

If you select "Turn off Notifications", that will prevent it from appearing
in Login items pref and you will not get the notifications.

From Help:

Turn on Office Notifications
1. Double-click the Office Notifications program, located in the Microsoft
Office X/Office folder.
2. On the Office Notifications menu, click Turn On Office Notifications.

Tip If Microsoft Entourage is installed on your computer, you can also
turn on Office Notifications in Entourage. To do so, start Entourage, and
then click Turn On Office Notifications on the Entourage menu. (this is
under Entourage in the menu bar)

I know how to turn Notifications on...the problem is even with Notifications
on, Damon do not "stick" on login itens... I thought maybe there is another
procedure to "turn on again" after I manually disabled Damon on login
itens...
