I want to change the gridlines' by default to be changed to Pale Blue color.

Any Idea?
 
If you want the colored gridlines to be the default for *every new
workbook*:

Open a new workbook
Goto Tools>Options>View tab>Gridlines color
Select the desired color
OK out

Save this file as your default:
Goto File>Save As
File name: Book
Save as type: Template (*.xlt)
Save in: your XLStart directory

Where that is on your computer I don't know. On my machine its path is:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\XLStart
 
XLent!!

Thanx Pal! It was in Office12!

It means I can make all such changes for future as default settings?
 
Default is generally

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART
