Have any of you figured out how to turn this "Welcome back, pick up where you left off" bookmark thing? I've gone through all the options and add-ins I can find, and I can't make it stop doing this.
Thanks!

On the same track I deleted all the subkeys under 'Reading Locations' and then made the 'Reading Locations' key read-only to everyone.
This has stopped Word writing to the key and I no longer get the message when I re-open a document.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Reading Locations
That looks like a good place to start.
This not the answer people are seeking. ENGLISH is tricky? I uninstalled MS OFC 2013 and went back to MS OFC 2010 and I am happy. I am looking at COREL Office as another option.
In the Registry Editor, have you located the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Word\Reading Locations key? You'll find the subkeys in the pane on the left.
To set permissions on the key mentioned above, right-click and choose Permissions on the context menu.
In almost 20 years using Word this is one of the most annoying "features" I've come across. I've tried to follow the steps here, until I get to the Permissions box. However, from there I don't understand how to "making the appropriate registry key(s) read-only". This dialog box is where I'm at... Can you guide me through please?
I haven't experimented with this myself, but the dialog box suggests that you should click the "Deny" box for "Full Control." If you haven't edited the registry much before, you may want to back it up before attempting this.
