Only show one tab in a new workbook.
 

Every new workbook opens with three worksheets (tabs)...how many times do you
need three worksheets in a workbook?? I'd rather create my own when I need
them. Just give me one worksheet.

Microsoft has already given you that option.

Yes, I know how to do that but I get worksheets from other people that aren't
as savy and it's really annoying. If Microsoft set up the default as that it
would be most helpful.

If you find that really annoying, I would surmise you have a great life and
certainly no teenagers living at home<g

I think of it as a bump on a flea's butt in comparison with a few other
annoyances I can think of.
