You could put the show macro into the workbook open event of Personal.xls,
this will then re-display it.

I've used this code to hide toolbars and command bars:
Sub hide()
Dim bar As CommandBar
For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
bar.Enabled = False
Next
End Sub

Sub show()
Dim bar As CommandBar
For Each bar In Application.CommandBars
bar.Enabled = True
Next
End Sub

Problem is when I restart excel now it defaults to the hidden status.

Thanks for any ideas.
