Whenever I open Excel, a blank workbook entitled quot;Personalquot; opens. If
I open any other Excel file, the quot;Personalquot; workbook opens first. This
may have resulted from a prompt to save my quot;Personalquot; macros... and I
may have made an error in how I saved it.

How can I establish the typical quot;Book 1quot; as the default workbook when I
open Excel? When I was able to open a quot;Book 1quot; after the quot;Personalquot;
book had opened, I saved it as quot;Book 1.XLTquot; in the Office XLSTART file.
When I then opened Excel from my quick launch, quot;Personalquot; still opened
first, followed by quot;Book 1.XLTquot;.

Many thanks.Additionally, when opening the properties on the quick launch, the
following path appears: C:\Documents and Settings\wf63135\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART... but when I open the wf63135 file, I do
not see a quot;Application Dataquot; file.

Lastly... if I save anyting to the quot;Personalquot; workbook, the next time I
open Excel... whatever data I saved within the quot;Personalquot; workbook will
appear when I open Excel (... because quot;Personalquot; opens every time I
start Excel).

Many thanks.OK... I fixed it... went into window and selected quot;Hidequot;... now when I
open Excel, Book1 opens as it should.OK... I fixed it... went into window and selected quot;Hidequot;... now when I
