Default Install Excel on a new computer

Here is a list from Dave Peterson...............

I have a short list of things to copy/update when we change pc's at work.

It's not complete, but may help you.

Word/Excel files:

FileName Use
custom.dic personal dictionary
*.acl personal autocorrect list
mssp2_en.exc personal exclusion dictionary
normal.dot default (for new documents) template
*.dot Any other templates you've made

*.xlb personal toolbar
book.xlt defaults for new workbooks
sheet.xlt defaults for new worksheets
personal.xl* personal macros
*.xlt Any other templates you've made

And don't forget any:
Local files (If you don’t store on LAN)
(Settings) Directories and other defaults (Tools|Options stuff)

I'd like to have all the same customized tool bars, Personal file, add ins,
etc. on my new computer that I have on an old computer. What files do I need
to copy over and where do I find them? I can't even remember all the
settings and changes I've made since my original installation. Help will be
greatly appreciated.
