    You can try putting shortcuts to those files in the XLSTART folder. Ive never tried it but it might work. You could otherwise place in your personal workbook in the workbook_open event VBA code to open the workbooks you want to open. I personally would recommend you find a way to do it without VBA.

    Check here too, Google to the rescue:

    Looks like you can set files to startup with Excel in basically any location.
    Ways to get help: Post clear questions, explain your overall goal, supply as much background as possible, respond to questions asked of you by those trying to help and post sample(s) files.
