I have financial workbooks for each year; for only the 2 or 3 latest do I
want backup files. Unchecking "Save AutoRecover... " doesn't do the trick.
I'm not referring to what's saved in "C:\Documents and
Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\", but to the *.xlk files in
the working folder.

Also, is AutoRecover responsible for the extremely annoying, sporadic
disappearance of the Undo/Redo lists?

Thanx for any help you can give
