Default Multiple files open when starting Excel

Hi All,

We have Excel 2003 in the office and when ever I double click on Excel to
start the application, it starts opening all the files in the folder where
other saved worksheets are saved, and wont just allow me to open a fresh
worksheet!

I have tried to uninstall and re-install Excel on my computer, but no joy

Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks to everyone who reply

Madhu

Thanks Jim

Do you mean under Excel?

If so, there are 1000's of saved files in the folder and its trying to open
all these files! It does not stop trying to load all the files and eventually
my PC runs out of memory and the PC crashes

Yes, Excel.

Further...
If you can't open Excel, then move the files in the problem folder
to another folder; open Excel and delete everything in the
textbox at the location I specified.
Then move the files back to the original folder.
