Moving to A NEW cOMPUTER

[PT]

I've long used a customized Personal.XLS worksheet which contains a number
of personalized macros, buttons, toolbars, etc..

I installed Office 2003 on my replacement computer. I assumed I'd simply
copy the Personal.XLS file from its position in
C:\Docs & Settings\Username\App Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart over to the
corresponding position on the new computer.

But I still end up with the canned opening worksheet as before the change.
What else should I be doing?

Move the file Book.xlt in the Excel start directory (where Personal.xls is
as well).

I copied Book.xlt and personal.xls to the XLStart folder. No change - still
getting the default opening
