I'm fairly new to 2007 as well however I noticed under 'Excel
options'....'advanced tab' under 'General' there is a setting that says 'At
Start up open all files in' and then a blank space. Perhaps you have
something filled in this post that needs to be deleted?

I am new to Office 2007. While getting used to the new GUI and while writing
some Excel VBA code I must have done something wrong. Now every time I start
Excel or open an existing Excel file, the PERSONAL workbook is opened
automatically. This is a real nuisance. E.g. when I'm finished with Excel I
need to separately closed PERSONAL.XLSB. Is there anyway to stop
PERSONAL.XLSB from opening automatically?
