Default transfer a macro to the personal macro worksheet

Personal.xls.

Personal.xls is located in the XLStart directory, and is used to store
macros and things that you want to be available to all workbooks, whenever
you start Excel.


By default, it is hidden in Excel, but if you go to the VBE, you use it as
you can with any other open workbook (you don't have to unhide it).


You can create it by
- goto ToolsMacrosRecord New Macro...
- Choose Personal Macro Workbook form the dropdown
- OK
- click the Stop button on the toolbar that pops-up


You now have a Personal.xls workbook. It is not visible though, it is hidden
by default (WindowsUnhide)
