Excel 2000 default workbook

By casubramanyam ·
Hi,

I have Microsoft Office 2000 at my office computer. I have a requirement now with Microsoft Excel 2000. When we initiate the excel program using excel.exe, we know that the application loads a default workbook with three worksheets. However, I wouldn't like it that way.

I would prefer the application to just open and stay for my next command. To be precise, when I initiate the excel 2000 application, the application should not load any workbook and should just stay blank, so that I could access the menu options and select either a new option or open and so on.

I have tried my level best in scouting for any registry key entry that is doing this. However, I managed to fail in doing so.

Could anyone tell me if there is any tweak for this requirement to be accomplished?

Thanks,
Subramanyam,

In Excel 2003 one can achieve what you want in the following way:

Create a shortcut to Excel.exe, go to the Properties and change the target to:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE" /e
