Excel opens all spreadsheets on my PC

[Robert A. Mitchell]

For no explanable reason today when I started Excel 2002
it opened all spreadsheets I had in my Excel folder. I
ran the repair tool, no change then I removed and
reinstalled Office 2002 but it still happens. I deleted
all .tmp files on my computer, checked by hard disk for
errors and did a complete Defrag but it still happens.

When first starting Excel I get the following error
message: Excel experienced a serious error the last time
the add-in 'c:\documents and settings\rx9276\my
documents\excel\asi status report11-6.xls' was opened.
Would you like to disable this add-in? To reenable this
add-in, click About Microsoft Excel on the Help menu, and
then click Disabled Items.

The file name reported in the above error message changes
each time.

HELP!

Hi Robert,

Once you get Excel open, choose Tools/Options/General from the menu and
make sure there is no path entered in the setting labeled "At startup, open
all files in". This is usually the cause of the problem you describe.
