Default Macro Folder Not Opening on Start Up

I have a user who is having trouble running macros in Excel - "Personal" file
containing them won't open at start-up and I can't assign them to buttons.

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

Where do I even start to look to resolve this???

Default Macro Folder Not Opening on Start Up

xl2002+ has the abililty to quarantine what it thinks are bad workbooks.

They can keep track of them so that it doesn't even try to open them.

If you look under Help|About MS Excel, you'll see a button called: "Disabled
Items...".

Check under there to see if it's marked not to open. You can enable it there,
too.

If the workbook is really bad, you may want to delete that copy and put a copy
of your backup version into your XLStart folder.

(If you don't have a backup, take the time now and create one.)
