Excel file should not open book1.xls
Hi,
Forgot to mention you can create a desktop icon to do this. Right click your desktop and create shortcut. navigate to Excel.exe which is probably in something like c:\program files\microsoft office\office11 when you select Excel simply add the /e switch to the path.

First, that new blank workbook should be book1 (not book1.xls with the
extension). If you're seeing the extension, then something else is going wrong. But if you're not seeing the extension, try Mike's suggestion again: Create a new icon on the desktop. the target should be: "C:\yourpath to excel\excel.exe" /e Notice the double quotes (required if the path has spaces) and remember that the /e is separated by a space character (and not included inside the double quotes).
