I don't think this is the right section for this topic. It's not about tamagotchis. It should be in "(Non)TamaTalk", not "What happened to my Tamagotchi?!". Please have a guide close this or move this topic to a different section.
Also known as the Paperclip or the Office Assistant, Clippy is the Microsoft paperclip animation included with Microsoft Office 95 to help users with different tasks. On April 11, 2001, Microsoft announced that it would remove Clippy from future releases of Microsoft Office; however, after the release of Office XP, it was found that Clippy (Office Assistant) was still present, just not installed by default. To the right is an example of what the Office Assistant looked like in Microsoft Office 2000.
Users can enable / disable or show / hide the Microsoft Office Assistant by clicking Help at the top of the window and then "Show the Office Assistant" or "Hide the Office Assistant". If the Office Assistant continues to appear right-click the Office Assistant and click Options. Within the Options window uncheck "Use the Office Assistant" and click Ok
