In Excel, Go to Tools | Options | General | There should be a section towards
the bottom that has an entry - At Startup, open all files in - with a box following this. If there is anything in there, delete it. If it is blank, then close this, go to your windows explorer and look for your XLStartup folder. Delete any files in there except personal.xls If there are no other files in there, you may have some bad addins "Blair" wrote in message ... : When I open Excel I find there are two files already open with the message : "These files are not in a recognisable format" : How do I get rid of them starting? : : Blair Malcolm : :
