Default xlstart file is not the same I saved

I saved a file (large with several macros) in xlstart. When excel starts, a
file with the same name opens, but only with 3 empty worksheets and no
macros. When I open the file by hand from xlstart the original, large, file
opens. Why doesn't the file open in xlstart? What can I do?

Default

You may have more than one XLSTART folder(most do).

The one that works for me is

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

You may have placed the file into

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart

which is not the regular default folder.
