    Default file opened on startup

    When I open my Excel (v.2408, Build 17928-20114), it automatically opens this one file. It's not even a file I'm interested in. I want to make it stop and just open Excel, no files on open. How do I do that???

    Go to File/Options/Advanced, scroll down to General and see if anything is in "At startup, open files in"
