Locate a file on your computer called:

Excel10.xlb or Excel11.xlb or Excel12.xlb (depending on your version of
Excel)

and move it to the new computer.

Here is a list from Dave Peterson...............

I have a short list of things to copy/update when we change pc's at work.

It's not complete, but may help you.

Word/Excel files:

FileName Use
custom.dic personal dictionary
*.acl personal autocorrect list
mssp2_en.exc personal exclusion dictionary
normal.dot default (for new documents) template
*.dot Any other templates you've made

*.xlb personal toolbar
book.xlt defaults for new workbooks
sheet.xlt defaults for new worksheets
personal.xl* personal macros
*.xlt Any other templates you've made

And don't forget any:
Local files (If you don’t store on LAN)
(Settings) Directories and other defaults (Tools|Options stuff)

End Dave............................

Note: Excel also stores a lot of settings in the registry. Most at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Excel\Options
