Doesn't sound like an Excel issue to me.

More like an issue with the co-worker's network setup.

I would get the IT people involved.

If you are the IT people maybe set up a new account/profile for the worker and
see what transpires.

I'm not qualified to instruct on that front.

I do notice that it is opening a main drive and trying to open every
file type within that drive even .doc documents. But I don't know where
it getting that drive from, it isn't listed anywhere. The error also
appears to only be connected with my co-worker. When I log on to the
computer Excel opens fine. Also where would these auto recover files be
located? Nothing is located in the folder where excel says to save them?
But when I open the excel program with my co-worker logged it is starts
an automatic recover process. And even when opening in safe mode says
that files are saved in autorecover and will be recovered at next
"normal" start-up.

Any other ideas?
