I have a coworker whose Excel '00 opens several files that its not supposed to such as:
resetlog.txt
config.sys
frunlog.txt
startlogo.oem
autoexec.nai
autoexec.bat

etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Office and it still does it. Anybody have any ideas as to what caused this and what can be done to remedy.

TIA,
PMich

First thing to do is scan for viruses.

Sorry. I was in a bit of hurry during my first post. This problem (more of a nuisance has been going on for a couple of months) It has been scanned for virii and is clean. It also updates Virusscan weekly so I am sure that it is up to date. I really thought it was a virus at first because it almost seems to behave like a macro. What I find strange is it seems to me that the files open in a manner similar to what I think windows does at startup. Also, the last change I made to the systray (i.e. removed intellimouse icon) shows up as the last file that Excel opens upon starting. Maybe this info will help.
