If you've upgraded through different versions of excel, you could have multiple
XLStart folders. Any chance you've done that?

If yes, look again through all the XLStart folders.

Since the formula returned nothing, that means that there isn't an existing .xls
workbook opening. But the challenge is still to find the cause.

In the XLStart folder I have only one file and it is a pdf maker 5.0 macro

When I enter that formula in A1 of the extra book nothing appears in the cell.

What do you have in your XLStart folder?
(Use windows|search to find that folder)

and if you open excel and see that extra workbook, put this in A1 of the first
worksheet:

=cell("Filename",a1)
(don't change anything in that formula)

What do you see?

Everytime I open any of my Excel files it now opens an additional (and
unwanted) workbook. It never used to do this, how do I stop this from
happening?
Thanks,
