Like investments, removing a category doesn't actually remove it. It
just hides it from you but not from Money.

I added Entertaining. It still defaults to that, but the wizard
no longer appears. I looked at ALL cash transactions.

Even adding "Entertaining" then moving it to the Leisure
subcategory doesn't work. It still wants to create a new
"entertaining" main category.

Frustrating.

That's just it. Entertaining doesn't even exist, which is why I
think the wizard pops up. Somehow, it is "autocompleting"
Entertaining in the category field when I put in ATM in the
checknumber box. I have no clue where it got that or why it is
doing that.

I would go to Banking-> AccountTools-> Categories&Payees-> Categories,
and select the category that you want to be rid of and click Delete
or Move at the bottom. If you are using the category, Money will
ask what category you want those transactions reassigned to.

I don't know. Maybe after a Move it will take care of itself.

I have MOney 2007 but 2006 did this too.

When I open a new "Withdrawal" and type "ATM" where the check
number belongs, It always shoves "ENTERTAINING" in the first
category box (I have mine set to show two boxes, main, then sub)
and immediately brings up the new category wizard.

I don't want that.

I have Leisure as my main category and Entertaining as a sub. I
have never had ENTERTAINING as a main category, not since
starting with Money 95. I think Money 2006 started this junk
because for a decade it worked fine.

How can I get this to stop? I have to press ESC about 3 times to
get out of this "Create category wizard." Is there any way to
turn this off? I can't find any settings or any way to
automatically assign "Leisure:Entertaining" to the ATM
transaction.
