[Guest]

I just updated to Excel 2003 and whenever I open Excel, it automatically
loads around 12 workbooks. Why? and How can I stop these from loading?

In Excel, click on Tools | Options | General. The "At startup,
open all files in:" box should be empty. If it contains a folder
name, delete it, and click on OK.

Thank you.
