Delete any path in "At start up, open all files in"

Or move the files out of that folder......most users prefer to have no path at

Using Excel 2000. Excel opens by preloading 6 files. I only want the
one file that I saved to xlstart. Using Windows Explorer I find only
the correct file in that location. The other files may be stored in a
temp file. I can't find where these files are located, so I can't
delete them. How can I stop these unwanted files from loading?- Hide quoted text -
