opening a lot of files

I have an installation of excel 2003 that for some reason is opening
all kinds of files when it opens. As far as I can tell it is opening
all visible files on the root of C drive at the moment.

Any ideas on what would cause this or how can I fix its?
 
It sounds like you set C:\ as the Alternate StartUp Directory.
(Maybe you meant to use C:\ as the Default File Location instead?)

Try this
From the Excel main menu:
<tools><options><General tab>
Clear the entry in: "At startup, open all file in"

Does that help?

That was it.

Thanks for the help. I did not realize the newer versions had this
option.

Thank you
 
Older versions also had the Alternate startup folder option.

You must have missed it.
