I have used excel a long time witout larger problems.
i have had a number of smaller macros that i have saved in
personal.xls, after first "unhiding" it. and then attached these
macros to toolbar buttons.

suddenly the buttons are gone and i cannot save a macro to
personal.xls, it needs to be unhidden?
and it turned out the personal.xls was gone!
I have a copy on an usb stick, but where shal i place the file? have
triede a couplle of folders: ...\xlstart\ but it does not work. so
where is the correct place and should i check other items too, so
excel knows its back?

i run xp pro sp2
kind regards
