Macro on Hidden spreadsheet

G

geocoy

I am trying to copy a macro in Excell spreadsheet from one pc to another.
The maco is set to launch when you open an XML file. Trouble is, when I try
to open the XML file. Excel opens and existing hidden file called
PERSONAL.XLS. It has its own macro and it blocks my macro from finishing. I
tried to edit PERSONAL and delete it, but it will not allow me saying it is
a hidden file. I have to unhide it to edit it, trouble is I can not find it.
I tried Saveas to see where it would take me, and it points to Excelstart.
In windows explorer I set this folder to allow viewing hidden files, but I
can not see it.

Any ideas
