D Dave Peterson Apr 5, 2005 #2 You can create a shortcut that adds another parm. I rightclicked on an empty spot on the disktop and chose New|Shortcut. I browsed for my excel.exe and found it here: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" Then I added a /e (space slash e) after that command: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e If I use that shortcut, I don't get that startup workbook.
