Try determining where those 24 files are coming from:

After one opens, put this in any cell:
=cell("Filename",a1)

You'll see where they're coming from.

Then you can verify that that folder doesn't exist under tools|Options|General
tab.

Hello. I am having a problem with excel. Whenever I start excel, or double
click an excel spreadsheet to open, it automatically starts 24 excel files.
I have tried looking in the xlstart folder for any templates or anything of
the sort, but did not find anything.

Any help or suggestions in stopping this from happening would be appreciated.
