How To Remove Add-in Icons From the 2007 Ribbon
I frequently debug Excel 2007 add-ins. Once I load an add-in, it, of
course shows up on the Ribbon Add-In tab. After I'm done, I unload the add-in, clean up in the Add-n Manager, delete the .XLA file, etc., but the damned icons still stay in the ribbon. I'm building up a large collection of unused, unlinked, good- for-nothing icons in the Ribbon. Is there ANY way to get rid of them? I've tried creating a new PERSONAL.XLSB file, with no addins, but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Mark |

How To Remove Add-in Icons From the 2007 Ribbon
Hi Mark
Delete your xlb file 1) Close Excel 2) Do a search for .xlb in Windows (Use: search hidden files and folders) 3) Rename or delete the .xlb file or files (In 2007 the name = Excel12.xlb) 4) Start Excel Deleting the file or renaming will do no harm to your system Excel will create a new file for you. (You lost your customization remember that) If you make your own toolbars or add buttons to the others this file is important (backup it so you can restore it) -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl/tips.htm "mcarbon1" wrote in message ...

How To Remove Add-in Icons From the 2007 Ribbon
I only have the analysis toolpack and unselecting it from the manager removes
the ribbon group for me, so I don't know if it will work, but did you install and have you tried the Office Diagnostic tool? "mcarbon1" wrote: I frequently debug Excel 2007 add-ins.

How To Remove Add-in Icons From the 2007 Ribbon
Your addins should delete the toolbars they create in their Workbook_Close
event, then you won't have this problem. Probably you can get rid of the existing icons by deleting your Excel12.xlb, although I have not tried this. regards Charles __________________________________________________ The Excel Calculation Site http://www.decisionmodels.com "mcarbon1" wrote in message ...

The icons went away, and the next time I closed Excel, I had a fresh copy of Excel12.xlb, minus the problem. Mark |
