Put the folder back, but move the addins to a different location--or if you'll
never use them, delete them.

Dave Peterson,
I am having same problem with DistMon and AutoExecNew. I found this string
and followed instructions. What I found was an XLStart folder, but not an
XLStart file. I moved XLStart Folder out of Excel on to Desktop and then
Excel (part of MS Office 2003) would not start.
Can you offer, or any other users, offer some assistance?
I have recently UNinstalled Adobe Acrobat 5.0, after installing MS Office
2003 (I had been using MS OFfice 2000). I did NOT seek any residual Acrobat
files and manually delete them. Is this something I should do? Could this be
part of the problem?

Depending on your upgrade path through excel, you could have multiple XLStart
folders.
I'm still betting my money that you have that addin in one of those XLStart
folders.
Close excel
windows start button|search/find
look for pdf*.xla (just in case the name isn't always the same)
If (when!) you find it, move it somewhere else and see what happens when you
start excel the next time.

OK, just to check: I go tools, add-ins, and nothing is checked.
Nothing is in my XLstart folder.
Thanks for any more new ideas.

Hi
if you have disabled all your addins (and you may double-check this)
also check if you have any files in your XLStart folder

Nope - this is the kb article I already tried with no joy. I need a
new suggestion. What is autoexecnew and distmon? Is there a visual
basic hidden module? I have disabled all my add-ins. This problem
isn't a show-stopper, but it's been going on for months and it's very
annoying. I will appreciate new ideas. Thanks. Sammie

OFF: "Compile Error in Hidden Module" Error Message When You Start
Word or Excel
It points at PDFMaker.xla as being the culprit.

Every time I open Excel 2003, I get the error: "compile error in
hidden module: AutoExecNew" and on closing, I get the error:
"compile error in hidden module: DistMon". I have read your
knowledge base article on the subject and also searched newsgroups.
Recommended solutions all point to pdfmaker.xla. I have already
deleted all the pdfmaker files but I still get the errors. What
next? Thanks. Sammie
