Do NOT delete it unless you are sure it contains no code. It should be a
hidden workbook and opens everytime Excel does, you just shouldn't see it

Get personal.xls as the active workbook and select windowhide, now close
Excel and answer yes if it says you have made changes to personal.xls and
all will be well

Each time I open an Excel document a second document called personal open
along with it. What did I do to have this happen and how do I stop it?

Thanks
