    my personal.xls file in xlstart folder no longer open when start excel

    Normally when I start excel file, my personal.xls will be open at the same time as I store all my micro in this file and I can use them in other files. But recently I find that my excel only open the file I click and the personal.xls no long open together. I need to go to my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART folder and start the personal.xls file. Anyone know how to set back so that my personal.xls will open together again?

    Thks in advance.

    You shouldn't be able to see Personal.xls except in the VB Editor when Excel is open
    Hope that helps.

    Open the VB Editor & see if the personal.xls is there
