Hiding default toolbar

I just migrated to Excel 2003. The Reviewing toolbar
appears every time I open an Excel file. I 'switch' it
off only to have it appear the next time I open a
different Excel file.

How do I permanently hide the toolbar until I require
them?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

The Reviewing toolbar in Excel pops up whenever you open a workbook that has
been emailed from within Excel "for review". There may be other ways to
make this happen too. If you do a File, Properties you'll see the custom
file properties that have been added that triggers this.

You can kill the added file properties manually or run the below macro to do
it. This macro is in my Personal and attached to a toolbar button because I
feel the same way as you about this toolbar.

If the toolbar pops up every time you start Excel then perhaps there is a
workbook in your XLSTART folder that is the cause.

Sub KillReviewingCustProps()
Dim x As DocumentProperties
Dim Counter As Integer
Set x = ActiveWorkbook.CustomDocumentProperties
For Counter = x.Count To 1 Step -1
If Left(x.Item(Counter).Name, 1) = "_" Then _
x.Item(Counter).Delete
Next
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub
