Hello,

I am running excel 2002 on a client machine in a domain environment. When
ever I open excel, it automatically opens several workbooks full of junk
text, one of which looks like an old backup listing of my IE favorites. I
don't know this happens, I've tried restalling the entire office suite and
then running office updates again with no change. However, if I log in as a
different user on that machine, excel opens normaly with a blank spreadsheet
ready to go. I'm hoping at least somebody has experienced this before. Any
help is much appreicated.

thanks.
 
First place I'd look is:
tools|Options|General Tab
Check to see if there's a folder in the "at startup, open all files in" box.

If there is, clear that box.

If that doesn't work, I'd check the XLStart folder to see what's in there.
