Ecel automatocally creates a personal file in the Excel start up directory.
Store all of your macros in here and as it is hidden it wont appear as an
open file.

In Excel2000, I always have "Personal" file I keep open that contains
many macros that I use frequently. The problem is that when I navigate
through files ( I use Ctrl-Tab) I get stuck on this file and it takes
up to 30 seconds for it to recover. If I don't have this file open, I
can navigate through the files with no wait. What can I do to speed
this up?

Thanks
