removing personal.xlsb file
I am having some serious issues with files not acting on my machine as
they do on others. I am a higher level user, and thought that maybe it was due to my personal.xlsb workbook interfering with the others that I'm trying to open. I removed the file from my C drive, copying to a flash drive, which i unplugged. I then deleted the copy from the recycle bin. Nothing in xlstart folder. When I open a new blank workbook, these files still show in the background. Where are they hidden? |

This may be over my head, but this is what I think....Go to the registry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\ Excel" This is the path if you have windows 7 and excel 2010. It is slightly different for excel 2007. I think the second to the last folder name is 12.0. Rename the folder "Excel" to "Excel_old". Then restart Excel. Excel will not find it's registry entry because you renamed it. Excel will then create a new entry. You will lose all of your history and settings, but that might be what you are looking for. If this doesn't work, delete the newly created Excel folder and rename the previous one back to "Excel" and you will be back to square 1. Good luck. Andy |
