Map1

[Guest]

When I open any Excel application, an empty file called Map1 is first opened
and only afterwards the file I cliked on. How can I avoid the opening of this
Map1, since it takes more time?
Thanks for the help

Look in your directory called XLStart.....if you see the Map 1 file there,
move it somewhere else.

Either Map1 is in your Tools>Options>General>"At startup, open all files in" or
it resides in your XLSTART folder.

Usually found at

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

Move Map1 out of whichever folder it is in.

I also recommend deleting any path in Tools>Options>General "At startup, open
all files in"

Can cause problems.

XL 2003? - Take a look in your ~Program Files/Microsoft
Office/Office11/XLSTART folder & you'll probably find the Map1 file (or a
shortcut to it). If so, remove it. Any files in that folder automatically
open on startup of XL. If that's not the case, post back with more details.

Hello,

Yes I work with XL2003. There is nothing in XLSTART. There were two folders
in XLSTART2 (SHEET and BOOK).

Previously I deleted a MAP 1 out of My documents, but that didn' solve the
problem.

I searched through the search engine for a MAP1 but couldn't find it.

So what to do?

Unless they are there because you know what they are and intentionally WANT
them there, move those two folders somewhere else........

There are two XLSTART folder (forget about XLSTART2 whatever that is).
Check both. One is under Microsoft Office and the other here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Application
Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART

Also, try re-registering Excel. Close Excel. Then from Start->Run enter
"Excel.exe /regserver" (no quotes, there is a space before the slash).

If you've followed all the suggestions in the thread, the only thing I can
think of to check next is Tools>Macro>Macros & see if there is a macro
listed there that creates the new Map1 file. If so, delete it.
