Default How do I prevent Excel from auto-opening a blank workbook at startup?

If you want Excel to open with no blank workbook no matter how or from where
you start Excel........

Go to StartSettingsFolderOptionsFile Types. Scroll down to MS Excel
Worksheet. Then if running Win98 OS Edit select "Open" and Edit.

If using WinXP OS you would scroll down to .XLS then "Advanced"OpenEdit.

In Command line the path should be similar to this....

"C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\EXCEL.EXE" /e

Your path may differ.....

You must have the double quotes.
