html import errors
 

You may have put your Excel files into the XLSTART directory,
which would cause them to open when Excel is opened.

You would have the same situation if you included an alternate
startup directory reference in your Tools, Options, general.

This should not be confused with your personal.xls workbook
which belongs in your XLSTART directory and it should be hidden
in Excel under the Excel Window menu so that the macros can
be used by other workbooks.
