Excel Starts up w/a Personal Macro page
Hello All,
I have a client that when opening Excel from the shortcut on the desktop it opens a "personal" file(named at the top next to Excel in the Program title) that she didn't create, that can contain multiple macros?!?. If they click on file then new the new workbook will then open fine. There is nothing in the xlstart folder. Using Office 2000 Pro on Xp Pro. Any Idea how this happened and how to stop it from opening this way? Thank You for Any Responses In Advance |

ToolsOptionsGeneralAt startup, open all files in: "Parker" wrote: Hello All, I have a client that when opening Excel from the shortcut on the desktop it opens a "personal" file(named at the top next to Excel in the Program title) that she didn't create, that can contain multiple macros?!?.

tools|options|general tab
"at startup, open all files in:" <xl2002+ wording "Alternate Startup File location" <before xl2002 wording And don't forget to look in _all_ the XLStart folders (there could be more than one based on the upgrade path). And look under Tools|Addins, too. Parker wrote: Thank You for the response David. I dont see that in that tab in options. Anywhere else to look? "David Hepner" wrote in message ...

Yes and nothing was there. I ended up just hiding the Personal Workbook and
that did the trick. The Clients happy so I appreciate your help. Thanks Again!! "David Hepner" wrote in message ...
