Deleting unwanted files
Using Excel 2000. Excel opens by preloading 6 files. I only want the
one file that I saved to xlstart. Using Windows Explorer I find only the correct file in that location. The other files may be stored in a temp file. I can't find where these files are located, so I can't delete them. How can I stop these unwanted files from loading? |

Deleting unwanted files
Anything selected under tools=Addins? If so, unselect them. Does that
solve the problem? If not, where are you seeing the six files. In excel itself, or just in the VBE? -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "William" wrote: Using Excel 2000. Excel opens by preloading 6 files.

ToolsOptionsGeneral Delete any path in "At start up, open all files in" Or move the files out of that folder......most users prefer to have no path at all.

Upon opening Excel, I click on Windows on the main menu and all 6 files are listed there as being open. Wm |
