Hi All
On our corporate network a user reported that they were having trouble
opening Excel, in that the application window size was larger than the
screen, obscuring the task bar etc. If the opening sheet and application
are maximised the window resizes as normal. However these changes and other
option settings (show status bar for example) were not being saved from
session to session. So the problem came back.

The XLB file was suspected but there was none for this user, but there were
for other users on this local PC (C:\WINNT directory). All these were
deleted and Excel now behaves normally. I expected Excel to create a new
XLB, however on inspection there is none. Where are the settings being
stored now? Clearly the 'other' XLB files were interferring with the
opening of Excel but with none now I am concerend the problem will reappear
unless we can track down the mechanism involved.
