I found where "PERSONAL.XLS" was and deleted the file (along with another
one). For me, the file was in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office12\STARTUP". I haven't noticed that deleting the file caused
any harm and now my files open quickly and I only have to click the close "X"
once to close my files and the program.

I used to take upwards of 60 seconds for my files to open if Excel was not
opened first and I had to click the close button twice to exit the file and
program.
