MS Office Forum / Excel / General Excel Questions / May 2008Multiple files opened when Excel started
After a collegue set up my Excel 2002 to show multiple files at one time, every time I start Excel it tries to open all kinds of files - including PowerPoint and Word docs, so I end up with dozens of error messages and about 20 Excel files opened every time I start the program. I think it has something to do with Tiles... any ideas how to get back to just opening the program without it automatically opening every file it can find? Thank you. Check the contents of folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\XLStart These files will start when Excel starts so delete what you don not want. > After a collegue set up my Excel 2002 to show multiple files at one time, > every time I start Excel it tries to open all kinds of files - including > PowerPoint and Word docs, so I end up with dozens of error messages and about > 20 Excel files opened every time I start the program.
