I tried this but got an error message that said the XLSTART folder was read
only and it wouldn't let me save anything to it. In it's properties, the
Read-Only check box says it applies only to files withing the folder. How
do
I change the attribute to the folder itself?

Create a new workbook and set that option for each sheet, then save that
workbook as a template file called Book.XLT, and save it in the XLStart
directory.
