I agree with this. I was told by my dealer about it for Microsoft Word and
so I renamed the directory from "actors" to "bad actors." That worked.
But if it comes up in other Microsoft products even after I've done this,
I'd like there to be an option. The reason I say an option is because
there might be sighted users on the same computer.
