Default excel xp macros cannot be saved to personal.xls

Who but MVP's........?

Using google search and the words "personal.xls" and "cannot record" you can
get a few hits that explain the "disabled items" conundrum.

A ggogle search on personal.xls brings up a lot of results

I would first try HelpAbout MS ExcelDisabled Items.

See if Personal.xls got stuck in there after Excel didn't like something it did.

If so, try to enable it and see if you have access again.

To answer second question about storage.............

The most likely path to XLSTART is

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Excel should find Personal.xls for opening in that folder.
