Default how do i get excel to stop opening a blank worksheet @ startup?

Dom

The closing double-quote must come before the <space/e

"[path]Excel.exe" /e

You have to create an icon, or a menu item, that calls Excel.exe with
the "/e" switch. That is, create an icon, for the target, enter
"[path]Excel.exe /e". Of course, [path] needs to be filled in with
folder that contains your program.

Hope this helps,
Dom
