Default Formula Link References Change to Startup Directory

Haven't been able to find info on this problem anywhere. Formulas in my
spreadsheets that link to other spreadsheets are, unbidden, changing to
reference the startup directory (c:\Documents and
Settings\username\Application Data\ Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART) INSTEAD of
the shared network drive where the files ACTUALLY reside. The startup
directory path is being substituted in for the portion of the network
path that the source and linked files have in common.

Has anyone seen this problem before? I'm using MS Windows XP
Professional and Excel 2003 (11.6560.6568) SP2.
