I don;t have that file in my startup folder or anywhere on my system. Should
that be part of the set of files that come with Excel 2000?

Is there a way to change the default shading color ?
Whenever I start Excel, the shading colour in the "Fill Colour" icon, in
the
Formatting Toolbar, has changed back to a light yellow color. I would like
this to default to another color.

I am using Excel 2000.
