Opening excel 2003

M

When I try opening up Excel 2003 is opens up all of my documents that I have
in my folder "my documents". It doesn't matter whether they are word or
excel files. I then have to wait or click ok because if it is a word document
it tells me it's not the correct format to open the document. I have tried
uninstalling/installing excel to see if it would fix the problem but it
hasn't. Word 2003 does not do this so I am at a loss as to why excel is doing
this.

Please help if you can, this is very frustrating.

Sound like you may have the path to your "My Documents" folder entered in:

<Tools> <Options> <General> tab,
"Alternate StartUp File Location" box.

If it is there, delete it.
