Hi,

I don't know why but every time I load Excel it loads a txt.file in it. I
applied what Dave said and then it opens 2 sheets, one blank and other with
the .txt file.

In Options - Save I can see in many places the name of this .txt file, such
as in "Autorecovery Exceptions for :" but it can't be removed.

If I add a new template in ../XLSTART folder then it woulkd load 2 sheeds
again.

I can't find where to disable this UNDESIRED load.

Could it be related to publish for web format, or similar?

Any clues?

I don't think this has ever been caused by corruption.

Sometimes one of these works when you're having trouble with double clicking on
the file in windows explorer:

Tools|Options|General|Ignore other applications (uncheck it)

Close Excel and
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /unregserver
then
Windows Start Button|Run
excel /regserver

The /unregserver & /regserver stuff resets some of the windows registry to
excel's factory defaults.

Sometimes this may caused by file corruption, and you can try some
Excel file recovery tools, such as Advanced Excel Repair to repair
your Excel file.

Detailed information about Advanced Excel Repair can be found at

And you can also download a free demo version at http://www.datanumen.com/aer/aer.exe

Hope this will help.
