Default problems with personal.xls


I just updated to Office 2003, and ever since then I have been getting
the following warning when I open Excel:

A document with the name ‘PERSONAL.XLS’ is already open. You cannot
open two documents with the same name, even if the documents are in
different folders. To open the second document, either close the
document that’s currently open, or rename one of the documents.

I click OK, and then close the personal.xls file, and can work
normally, and even open new files without any problems. I have tried
to hide the file, but everytime I close down excel and reopen, the same
message pops up.

Maybe this from Debra Dalgleish's site:
