Remove it from the registry.
Look in the keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\E xcel\Add-in Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\E xcel\Options
Replace the 10 with your office version or look in all versions under Office
in your registry.

Group,

I am using Excel 2000 under Win XP Home Edition. I created and used an
Add-in (.xla) file for a period. I have removed that file from my
computer and network, but the name of the Add-in still appears in the list
of available Add-in files. How can I get the file name removed from the
list of available Add-in files?

Excel is taking forever to open. I wonder if the program is searching the
network for that missing Add-in.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
