On opening Excel, 4 non ".xls" files open that I cannot delete
Occasionally, non .xls files open when I start up Excel. I can close them,
but how do I delete them from Excel start up. And what am I doing to cause them (.jpg, .wmv, .pdf, etc) from lodging in Excel? |

Could be that they are Add-ins..........do Tools Add-ins and uncheck
anything you dont want to start up automatically........ Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Twoheat" wrote: Occasionally, non .xls files open when I start up Excel.

There's a spot where you can specify a folder that will have all the files
opened each time you start excel. Check under tools|options|general tab| look for the "at startup, open all files in:" box and erase anything you find there--in the box--not in that actual folder. In earlier versions of excel, that box was labeled "alternate startup file location" (or something like that). But this would happen much more than occasionally. If that doesn't solve the problem... Chip Pearson has some notes on how to diagnose startup errors at: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/StartupErrors.htm And Jan Karel Pieterse has more notes at: http://www.jkp-ads.com/Articles/StartupProblems.htm Twoheat wrote: Occasionally, non .xls files open when I start up Excel.
