Getting rid of personal.xls
I made this mistake of saving a macro to the
personal.xls. Now I've deleted the macro (no longer needed) and still have personal.xls that pops up and gets in the way everytime I want to use Excel. It is a royal pain. How can I permananently delete it ? Thanks. |

Don't delete it - hide it. You may still need it another time.
With personal.xls open, just use go to Window | Hide. "Gregg" wrote in message ... I made this mistake of saving a macro to the personal.xls.

First of all, it should be HIDDEN. If you really want to delete use windows
find to look in all files, including system & hidden. Delete it. -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Gregg" wrote in message ... I made this mistake of saving a macro to the personal.xls.

Has Excel saved the Personal.xls file in the autosave fil
location.....I think if you delete that, the problem will stop. Celtic_Avenge -- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com |

You can hide it when it is open by going to WindowHide and saving as such. It will open in the background and not bother you. If it has nothing in it, you could also delete it if you choose. You can re-create at any time by recording a macro to "Personal Macro Workbook".
