I also searched for other XLSTART folders. There was another one under
username/application data/microsoft/excel. It was empty and I deleted the
folder. Still same result at startup.

If yes, then empty this box.

What else is in that XLStart folder?

Do you have any other XLStart folders on this pc. Excel is pretty smart and
knows where to check--especially if you've upgraded through different versions.

I have preferred format for my start-up workbook. I have it saved in the
book.xlt file the XLSTART folder. I recently changed machines. I save my
book.xlt to the xlstart folder but I now get a different file when excel
starts up. The book.xlt works fine when adding a new workbook, the only
problem is the startup file. Any ideas?
