Open A Specific Workbook When Excel Starts

 Before we start Microsoft Office Excel, we can make sure that a specific workbook or a workbook template or worksheet template that has custom settings opens automatically when we start Excel. If we no longer need a specific workbook to open, we can stop it from being opened when we start Excel. 

We can do it in the following way:

1) Place A Workbook In The Excel Start Folder

In windows XP, by default the folder will be

 C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel\XLStart. 

We can locate the path of excel start up folder in the following way:

1) Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Excel Options.
2) Click Trust Center, and then under Microsoft Office Excel Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings.

 

3) Click Trusted Locations, and then verify the path to the Excel Start folder in the list of trusted locations.
