First, the template you may have screwed around with should be named book.xlt
(not book1.xls). And it should be stored in your XLStart folder

I'd close excel and use Windows start button|search to look for book1.xls and
delete it. (Remember to look through hidden folders, too.)

I scewed around the the Book1.xls template that opens when you lauch excel.
I get a compile error and I have to close that error dialogue box and then
close the workbook and then I get a PERSONAL.xls worksheet. I did something
to the macro for the opening workbook and can't fix it.
Anyone out there have any ideas as to how to fix it. Tried to reinstall
Excel from CD but that did nothing.
