Hello,

Whenever I open any Excel file, Excel opens every file on my desktop as well (excel or not). I have to wait until the whole bunch load up, then close them all. Any thots?

Configuration: Mac OS X
Safari 530.19

The same thing happens to my mac! Everytime I open excel, it tries to open every file in my documents folder! Even files of different incompatible types. I can't get into "preferences for Excel" because of all the error messages. I've looked for Macros on the desktop and it does not find any.

HELP!

I called Mac support and they said its a Microsoft problem. I have Microsoft Office for Mac. Called Microsoft support and they walked me through a fix. They were great. Sorry I can't remember the fix. It involved a number of steps. But they didn't charge me anything for the phone consult.
