When i open a file in excel a book 1 is also created. I do not want this and
have to shut it. Very frustrating. This only seems to have happened recently
but i do not know what has caused it. Can anyone help with getting rid of it.
 
It may be related to an add-in that you recently installed that requires a
blank workbook open for the add-in to load.
 
I really dont care why - i just want to know how to stop it. One of my
clooeauges had the same problem and he seems to have inadvertantly cured it
but doesn't know how !
 
Perhaps you have a Book1.xls in your XLSTART folder.

If so, remove it.

Another spot to watch out for is the Tools>Options>General "At startup open
files in" or "Alternate startup file location".
