A little research revealed that it is a side-effect of the "Show all windows
in the taskbar" feature under Excel Options, Advanced, Display. Disable it
and that should be the end of your problem.

In Excel 2003, my personal.xls would close automatically when I closed my
last visible workbook; now in Excel 2007 it doesn't close automatically -
Excel stays open with a blank screen. Is there a setting I'm missing or is
there a simple macro that would accomplish the task.
