One of the things excel does when you close it is to save the customized toolbar
file *.xlb.

With excel closed, search for *.xlb (through hidden folders and for hidden
files!)

Then rename all the *.xlb files you find to *.xlbOLD
then start excel and test it out.

If it worked ok, then delete those *.xlbOLD files. And rebuild any
customizations you've made.

If it didn't work ok, then rename the *.xlbOLD files back to *.xlb.

Hi Experts,
It takes very long time (minutes) for me to close file or exit Excel
program.This happens with small excel file, so it is not about the file size.
Also, I have scanned virus on my computer and there is none. Other program
does not have this problem, so I assume it is specific for excel. Does any
one have any idea what might be wrong?
