Hello everyone.

When you open an empty excel application, it has by default 1 empty workbook, with 3 sheets (this number is configurable). If you then open another workbook (under the same application) with some content, some differences arise between 2007 and 2013:

- in Excel 2007 version, you will end up having 2 workbooks (one empty and the one you just opened)
- in Excel 2013 version, you will have only 1 workbook, the one that was just opened.

Is there anyway this can be configured from somewhere or prevented? Thanks.
