Ive recently migrated a user's active directory profile to a new domain and workstation; though the users files have been migrated as well, the user is an avid user of Microsoft Excel and is missing many of his macros and other settings, how can these be restored (the user's old workstation was completely imaged)?

if you re-imaged his machine, his stuff is most likely gone.

the specific answer depends on the version of Excel. For 2003, the answer is that:

His macros and customization were in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 10\XLStart

In that folder there was a 'personal.xls' file which is the template that contained his customizations and macros.

Macros can also are stored as part of individual workbook files, but that is not as common.
