Hi
There is either some excel file in the starup folder or files are opened
through Tools, Options, General Tab, "At startup open every file from
folder:"
(please note this option may vary since I am using a french version)
No, that's not it. That does just what it says, it opens every file in that
folder. He does not want that. He just wants Excel to open with a blank
workbook, rather than opening with no workbook.
