stop opening a blank workbook at start up

how do I stop excel from opening a new workbook everytime I start up the
application.

Ad a shortcut to the Excel.Exe file and append the properties of the
shortcut with /e

Shotcut will look like this:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e
