I replaced my Personal.xlsb with another Personal.xlsm stored at C:\Users\cjimmerson\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART and now when I open Excel a new workbook does not automatically open.

I tried placing book.xltx at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\XLSTART,
but Excel still doesn't open a new workbook at startup.

any ideas on why my Excel doesn't open a new workbook at startup?

Using Excel 2010, Windows Vista
 

Excel Facts

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
Got it figured out. The Personal.xlsm should only have the extention .xls or xlsb. I guest the macro enabled workbook disables the opening of a new workbook not matter what.
