Default Personal.xls does not open automatically (Excel 2002)

Hello, Excel 2002 won't open my personal.xls if I launch excel by
double-clicking on any excel document. If I start Excel by itself (using the
Start menu shorcut), the Personal.xls is loaded properly.

I have tried the following:

- Located all copies of Personal.xls in my hard drive. Found only one in my
hard drive located in C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\Personal.xls

1) Opened an excel document
2) Window-Unhide is greyed out
3) alt-f11 to open VBA
4) ctrl-g to open inmediate window
5) ?application.startuppath shows:
C:\Documents and Settings\xxxx\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
6) Tools-Options (in Excel) under the "General" tab shows that "At startup,
open all files in:" is blank
7) Help-about-Disabled Items does not list anything

If I launch Excel by itself and then open any document, the personal.xls
file is loaded and all the macros in it are working

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hector
