Excel opens 2 worksheets, 1 blank, when I open any spreadsheet

[dnaffie]

MS Windows 7, Office 13

Every time I open a current Excel spreadsheet, another instance of Excel opens. Not another sheet but Excel with the menu tool bars. It happens with any saved spreadsheet I open.
It also happens only when I first boot up and open Excel for the first time. After I minimize the spreadsheet I open, close out the blank Excel, it doesn't happen again until reboot.
Any thoughts?

It may have something to do with your PERSONAL.XLSB file (located here: C:\Users\ your user name \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\ )

This file is a place to store commonly used macros. If it exists in this location but you never use it, you can delete it and it may solve the problem.

I do not have the file, PERSONAL.XLSB on my computer. Thanks for the suggestions.
