EVERY SINGLE TIME that I open up Excel, it opens every single document that I
have ever saved. I think this is because I changed the default settings in
XLStart and now it is going bonkers on me. Recently I tried to open up a
workbook that i had saved (replacing the previous work) and it just kept
opening up every workbook except the one that I needed. so a days work was
lost. I am very frustrated and fairly new with the inner workings of excel,
so I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanx. Version 2002

At startup, open all files in:

This is usually blank for most users.
