Adobe Illustrator CS4 Tip - Whiten Up that Work Area

I just got a call from an old CS3 student who had just installed CS4 on his computer. "What's with that gray scratch area outside of the Artboard?, he asked. "Is there a way to make the area outside my document white again? I find the gray distracting and could not find a preference to change it back," he continued.

I said, "There is an easy way to make your scratch area white again, but you won't find it in Preferences. Just double click on the Artboard tool and uncheck 'Fade region outside Artboard' in the Global section and press OK. Your scratch area should bleach right out to white again."
