Default Excel 97 & XP

I've recently upgraded my OS from NT4.0 to XP by reformating, installing, and
activating XP (Yes, Activating XP. . . WOW!!!)

Anyway, My Excel 97 works fine, except the VB editor screen only flashes and
never remains open. If I log in as Adminstrator this problem goes away.

The same holds true for the Word VBA editor, except it produces the
following error.

Could not open macro storage.

XP appears to be kind of "goofy" about the read/write permissions on the C:\
drive. My guess/assumption is as a limited user I don't have read/write
permission to the appropriate spot(s). My question is which "spot(s)" do I
need read/write privilages?

Thanks in advance,

Christmas May
