Excel 2000 - Multiple files open when starting excel

[tim590]

I have an unusual problem, for some reason whenever I open up my excel it
opens up 10 different files (just different files from my PC, .doc's, .jpg's)
anyway at first I thought my room-mate accidently created a macro on startup,
but therre was nothing in the macro list. can anyone help me? I tried
deleting the normal.dot file, but it is still doing it. If I have to
uninstall/re-install is there a way to get a fresh installation (like it was
in the beginning)

Thanks

Tim

Hi (e-mail address removed),

I have an unusual problem, for some reason whenever I open up my excel it
opens up 10 different files (just different files from my PC, .doc's, .jpg's)

Open Excel and choose Tools, Options. Now on the general tab, remove the path
entered next to "Alternate startup file location".
