Excel problem

[Sport]

When I start excel is wants to open all the files in the directory
automatically. This is a big pain, is there anything I can do outside of
removing Office 2000 and reinstalling?

Thanks in advance

Excel will open all the files in your XLStart folder and all the files specified
in:

Tools|Options|General Tab:
"at startup, open all files in:" <xl2002 wording>
"Alternate Startup File location" <before xl2002 wording>

Erase what you typed in there. (don't delete the files/folder--just the
reference to it.)

Thanks. I didn't realize that would happen by supplying that info in that
feild.

I think that's one of the reason's MS changed the wording with xl2002. It
surely makes a lot more sense (to me anyway) with the new wording.
