Hi Michael:

Something like (depending on your Excel version and location):

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\EXCEL.EXE" /e

I think I may have stumbled on the answer. I renamed the .xlb file I found
in my ApplicationsData\Microsoft\Excel Folder and everything now seems to
work. Now, if I could only remember how to start excel without opening a
blank workbook.

For some unknown reason I cannot get Excel to run in normal mode. When I try
the Excel Logo comes up and after that nothing happens, I cannot even get
Ctrl + Alt + Del to work, I have to push the reset button on my machine. I'm
running Win98 SE (all patches) Office 2002 (all patches) I have run Detect
and Repair no change. I have uninstalled and reinstalled no change. When I
start up in the Safe Mode, a window pops up telling me that "Excel has
detected that you have recovered files. these files will be opened the next
time you start Excel in normal mode." When I click on Help and About, and go
to disabled items, there are none. Any thought or suggestions will be
greatly appreciated.
