Yes, if notifications is On - it will actually start running if ANY office programme is opened - and is almost certainly listed in the login items window to start up automatically when you log in. > Does it quit if you quit Entourage? No, not is notification is on. > What are some other easy ways to quit > the demon, so that one can copy the MUD folder over to a CD or external > backup drive? The script is the easiest way. You could turn notifications off in the entourage menu, delete the daemon from login items & re-login etc, but it's a lot easier to just run the script. > > In response to another question, - I am in X on both computers, same version > of everything.
