The only way I know of for a file in XLSTART not it load at startup is if it
has the System or Hidden file attributes set.

Are you sure it's stopped loading or do the macros just not run? (If it's
loading but not running it will appear in the Project window of the Visual
Basic Editor [Alt-F11]).

If it is loaded make sure that that folder is still 'trusted' under Excel
Settings, Trust Center, Trust Center Settings.
