Default Can't open excel

If you ever find the problem, please post back. Then google will have the
solution for the next victim.

ps. When you looked for *.xlb, did you look through hidden folders for hidden
files? Maybe you missed the one that causes the damage.

Or even shelling to DOS and running an old DOS command would be helpful:

Windows start button|Run
cmd (windows 2k/xp)
command (windows 98)

At the DOS prompt:
C: (to get to the C: drive)
cd\ (to get to the root directory)

dir *.xlb /s

the /s means to search through subdirectories.
