Hello,

Yes I work with XL2003. There is nothing in XLSTART. There were two folders
in XLSTART2 (SHEET and BOOK).

Previously I deleted a MAP 1 out of My documents, but that didn' solve the
problem.

I searched through the search engine for a MAP1 but couldn't find it.

So what to do?

Either Map1 is in your ToolsOptionsGeneral"At startup, open all files in" or
it resides in your XLSTART folder.

Usually found at

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Move Map1 out of whichever folder it is in.

I also recommend deleting any path in ToolsOptionsGeneral "At startup, open
all files in"

Can cause problems.

When I open any Excel application, an empty file called Map1 is first opened
and only afterwards the file I cliked on. How can I avoid the opening of this
Map1, since it takes more time?
Thanks for the help
