First of all, it should be HIDDEN. If you really want to delete use windows
find to look in all files, including system & hidden. Delete it.

I made this mistake of saving a macro to the
personal.xls. Now I've deleted the macro (no longer
needed) and still have personal.xls that pops up and gets
in the way everytime I want to use Excel. It is a royal
pain. How can I permananently delete it ?

Thanks.
