Just make an alteration to the startup macro file which Word looks for
upon start up.  You can set a variety of customized start up features with
this type of modification and you see any warnings from windows at all.

Following this same type of thinking, you can set up a different macro or
even make the startup maco prompt you for a particular directory you wish
to start in.  Just about every feature (i.e., menus, function keys, etc.)
are controlled by the macros and they can all be modified by the user.  You
could even change the menu names if you wanted to!
