If that addin is in your XLStart folder, you don't need to have it checked under
Tools|Addins.

If it's not in your XLStart folder, does it work ok?

(By the way, I tried this with xl2002 and my personal.xla file. And my
personal.xla file worked fine and always appeared in the Tools|addins
dialog--But I wouldn't continue to use this.)

Under Windows XP and Office 2003, I have installed an Add-In (xla) and copied
it to the XLStart folder. I can load the Add-In fine, but when I close
Excel, the menu item disappears. Is there any way to load the Add-In so that
I don't have to manually load it each time I close and restart Excel? I did
not have this problem on Windows 2000.
