20+ different Excel documents open at one time

[tbentley]

We have a user when he open Excel for the first time, 20+
different Excel documents opens up. User must close all
unwanted documents, leaving excel open before he can then
continue to work. User is on W2K using Office 2000 Pro.
Prior to that, we had installed Office 2000 Prem. We did
a completed uninstall of the Prem addition and then a
fresh load of Pro, but the problem is still there.

And see if the "At startup: open all files in" is empty
