I have a shortcut on my Quick Launch bar to a file called Index.xls
wherein other hyperlinks take me to a zillion other places as a means of
organisation of my computer data.

For a couple of months I've been finding that whenever I click Index.xls
another file called PERSONAL.XLS opens as well (or in fact momentarily
before). I don't know why this is happening. As far as I know I did not
change anything that might cause this phenomenon.
I located PERSONAL.XLS and changed the filename to PERSONAL.XL1 to see if
that might prevent it from opening, but now I have PERSONAL.XL1,
PERSONAL.XLS, and Index.xls all opening at once so I guess I shot myself
in the foot for that one ...lol.

I would really appreciate someone explaining to me what's going on and how
I can rectify the situation.
Thank you.

Buck
