If you're really opening book1.xls (with the .xls extension), look for that
book1.xls in your XLStart folder (and move it/delete it).

But the only way I know of to stop book1 (without the .xls extension) from
opening is to use the /e option.

Hi,

I know this is possible, but forgotten how to do it. I want Excel to
stop opening book1.xls when I open another workbooks.

I know you can use the switch /e in the shortcut, but that only works
when opening Excel using that shortcut.

I want Excel to stop opening book1.xls (the default) when I open any
workbook.

Thanks,

Dan
