Last week, I began having problems with viewing PDF files and website
animations in Internet Explorer. Something new that I noticed was that there
are four password-protected VBA projects (pdfmaker.xla, funcres.xla,
html.xla, and atpvbaen.xla) in my Excel VB editor.

I don't know how to remove them and don't know how they got there because
I'd never seen them before last week. I do know that I swapped files with a
co-worker last week and the problems began soon after.

Do you know how I can remove these password-protected projects and if this
is the cause of my Internet Explorer PDF issues?

Thanks.

funcres.xla is the addin associated with the analysis toolpak
atpvbaen.xla is the addin associated with the analysis toolpak for VBA
html.xla is the addin to support saving as HTML (pre xl2002???)

pdfmaker.xla is the addin that comes with many scanners. (I don't use it.)

The first two (and if I recall correctly) can be turned off/on via:
tools|addins

The pdfmaker.xla is located in your XLStart folder.

Close excel.
Use windows start|search and look for pdfmaker.xla and move it to a different
location if you don't need it or want to test how excel works without it being
loaded.

=======
I would guess that this has nothing to do with your MSIE problems.

I'd search google or describe the problem in one of the Internet Explorer
newsgroups.
