how can word upon startup show "No" as default setting
for keeping unsaved drafts from a previous session. Why
can't it at least put them into the recycle bin.

The only time Word offers a choice of what to do with recovered documents
when you open it is if it has crashed or has been closed incorrectly. If it
is doing this at any other time, it is because you have a surfeit of
unresolved temporary files cluttering your hard drive.

Or, if you are getting an old or unsaved document whenever you start Word or
click the New button, see
