Excel will open all files which are stored in your XLSTART folder and those
stored in the alternate startup folder you designate at
Tools>Options>General "At startup open all files in"
Move the wpexcel.xls out of the XLSTART folder and delete the path in
Tools>Options>General
You generally have two xlstart folders.
1. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART
2. C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
