I have an excel add-in that keeps coming back when I start excel, even though I’ve removed it from the last open instance of excel (yes I checked the processes in task manager).
The critter even shows up when I start excel in safe mode.
Anybody else had this?
Perhaps the add-in file is sitting in the Excel startup directory?
Tools -> Options -> General -> ‘At startup, open all files in’
As well as the entry in this setting, Excel may also be implictly loading the add-in from folders such as
Any folder named ‘xlstart’ is a candidate – perhaps it’s worth searching your C drive for such folders and/or the actual name of the add-in file.
Also, check the registry for Excel OPEN entries. Start -> Run -> regedit -> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\version\Excel\Options. Look for any values named OPENx.
