Hi Alex

Take a look at ToolsOptionsGeneralAt startup, open all files in
Remove any folder name in that location.
This is the wording in XL2003.
I believe in earlier versions, it is names Alternate startup location.

Hello. I am having a problem with excel. Whenever I start excel, or
double
click an excel spreadsheet to open, it automatically starts 24 excel
files.
I have tried looking in the xlstart folder for any templates or
anything of
the sort, but did not find anything.

Any help or suggestions in stopping this from happening would be
appreciated.
