Like Personal.xls (in the USA version of excel)?
You can unhide it if it's hidden (window|unhide in xl2003)
then close it (and don't save!)
Or you could do this:
hit alt-f11 to get to the VBE
hit ctrl-g to see the immediate window
type this and hit enter:
workbooks("personal.xls").close savechanges:=false 'or true???
Then back to excel.
You'll have to use the correct name for your personal.xls workbook.
