I have Microsoft Office Mac 2011 home and student for my 27 inch iMac desktop, and every single time i either restart my computer or turn it off then on ... the " Office installer" window pops as a window on the top left of my screen and it is really annoying! I have the full version installed properly, intact i even called microsoft technical support and had the guy walk me through it to make sure it was properly installed, but yet every time i turn my computer on it pops up! I have went into system preferences and then users & groups and made sure it was NOT in my login items, and i even went to the apple at the top left, clicked shut down, and made sure the box was UNCHECKED that says " Reopen windows when logging back in". I have tried everything! I make sure Microsoft word is not open when i shut down as well. Please someone help me with this annoying problem! the icon that is in the screen that pops up looks like this ill try to describe it - at the top it says microsoft office 2011 .. then at the top left it says microsoft office : mac 2011... and then at the bottom to bottom right, theres a graphic image of red, green, yellow, and blue lines mixing with each other, ( i think that is the trademark graphic image for 2011 microsoft) and then the icon that i am allowed to click looks like this : a black folder with a green arrow pointing down on it with the same graphic image i just described at the bottom to bottom right of the folder. The words at the bottom of this folder describing what is it reads " Office Installer" When i double click this icon, the "Install microsoft office for mac 2011" window pops up that will install it on my computer ( which it already is installed). So there, if there is anyone out there who can help with my problem please do! I have tried everything i have called apple i have called microsoft and they don't know how to resolve this! Please i need this to be fixed! Thank you in advance to anyone out there who can help.

My first thought is that there are two versions of Office installed. One you installed and activated. The other version came pre-installed with the OS. In such a case, the solution would be as simple as uninstalling the unregistered copy of Office.

Other than that, I have no clue.

Do this....
-- Open System Preferences > General.
-- At the bottom of the “Number of recent items” list, uncheck “Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps”.

EDIT:
Go to these locations....
/System/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchAgents
~/Library/LaunchAgents

Trash anything that seems related to Microsoft or Office.
