What is Personal.xls

What exactly is the personal.xls file? I created the macro to create the
file as a test (I'm always testing something to see if I can make it work)
and now it opens with every excel file. I know I can delete it, but what is
it used for?

Thanks!

When you start recording a macro, Excel asks where you want to store it.
Your three choices are: current workbook, a fresh workbook, or your personal
workbook. Personal.xls is the last choice; it's a single place to collect
all your VBA code so it's available whenever you start Excel.
