If you've followed all the suggestions in the thread, the only thing I can
think of to check next is ToolsMacroMacros & see if there is a macro
listed there that creates the new Map1 file. If so, delete it.

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?

XL 2003? - Take a look in your ~Program Files/Microsoft
Office/Office11/XLSTART folder & you'll probably find the Map1 file (or a
shortcut to it). If so, remove it. Any files in that folder automatically
open on startup of XL. If that's not the case, post back with more
details.

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
