Providing there is no setting in ToolsOptionsGeneralAlternate start-up
folder they should be somewhere like

C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart

Bear in mind folders below the user name are hidden by default and
personal.xls will only exist if you have set one up or recorded a macro to
it
