Starting Excel opens all files in Default file location

[e_randall_hall]

I have a PBG4 running 10.3.9. Everytime I open Excel, via the icon or a
Excel file, I get all the files (including .doc, .ppt, .pdf, .jpg, etc)
in the Default file location to open in Excel.

I have tried deleting the Microsoft User Data folder and uninstall and
reinstall of Office 2k4, but I have the same problem. All the other
Office apps are working normal.

I don't want to wipe the hard drive and start over, if possible. Any
help would be great. Thanks in advance

Are you sure you specified the Default file location, and not the
Alternate Startup file location? Any file in the latter will be opened
on start.

You should never have to delete the MUD folder...
