suppressing the splash screen
I was able to do so in Word but the same procedure is not working for Excel. How do I create a shortcut to launch Excel with the splash screen suppressed? (I Googled this and was unable to find the solution there.) |

Append a /e to your shortcut.
"C:\mypath\to excel\excel.exe" /e Note the <space before the /e For more on starting Excel see Help on "starting excel" and read "customizing how excel starts".

thank you both. it works.
however, I liked that Excel automatically launched a book. Now that I suppressed the splash, only a blank Excel opens. This is still better having the splash but, if I wanted a blank book (or sheet) to open as Excel is launched, is there a way to do that while the splash is suppressed?

Stick a blank workbook into your XLSTART folder or into the "alternate statrup
folder" or "at startup, open all files in", which can be found in ToolsOptionsGeneral.
