I have Office 2003's Excel set up on my desktop and my laptop under XP Home.
They both work as expected.
Personal.xls is in Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\XLSTART on both
machines. However, on the Desktop alone there is a shortcut to it in
Documents and Settings\Main\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. I
delete the latter and open Excel and all the macros in Personal.xls that are
tied to buttons and menu items work just fine without the shortcut. But
when I close Excel, the shortcut reappears in Documents and
Settings\Main\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART. This does not happen
on the laptop.
There must be something in the way I have the two Excels set up. The laptop
has my name as the user name and the desktop has Main as the user name.
This is the only difference I am aware of.
This does not cause any problems that I can see but I am curious about why
it should happen on one machine and not the other.
I will appreciate any guidance on this riddle.
Thank you.
