I am being driven insane by MS Word 5.0 and 
the location of its settings file.  I find
settings files at numerous locations around
my hard disk.  It seems that whenever I make a
change to my preferences, it creates a settings
file wherever MS Word happens to be pointing,
i.e. where I last openned or saved a file.

At times, MS Word complains of not being able
to create or save a settings file.

What gives?
