Default Eliminating book1.xls when opening existing spreadsheet

After I upgraded excel to xp edition, every time I open an existing excel
file, it also creates a new worksheet (book1.xls) along with the existing
one. Is there a way to keep that from happening?
thanks,

If it's really named book1.xls, then look for a file named book1.xls in your
XLStart folder.

Either delete it or move it.
