empty trash

Essentially my thought was is there a way I can attach it to the
application Word so that every time it launches it runs this script.
path to preferences will shorten the script:
set f to""&(path to preferences)&"Microsoft:Office Registration Cache X"
try -- remove the file if it exists
do shell script "rm " & quoted form of POSIX path of f
end try
tell app "Microsoft Word" to activate

Do you mean, as I guess you do, that you want the file deleted before
Microsoft looks for the file on launching? This would be more
difficult. You could write a stay-open applet to launch hidden at
login and to delete the file periodically, or you could do something
more secure with cron in the shell, which I can't advise on.
on idle
set dir to do shell script "echo $HOME"
set f to dir & "/Library/Preferences/Microsoft Office Registration Cache X"
try
do shell script "rm " & quoted form of f
end try
return 30 -- run every 30 seconds
end idle
-- JD
