    Excel Opens Two Files With One Blank


    By the way, I've heard some people mention that the preview pane is an issue (https://community.spiceworks.com/top...e-blank?page=3), but mine isn't even on. Also my C:\Users\mflat\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART is blank with nothing in it (that was another suggestion to delete a file within that folder).
    Oddly enough, this does not happen with other office products such as Word or PPT.

    Excel Opens Two Files With One Blank


    I can't seem to catch a break since buying a new computer with Windows 10 and UltraHD. I've noticed that every time I open an Excel file, it not only opens that file, but it also opens a blank workbook as well. This has never happened to me on any previous computer or previous version of Excel and googling the issue has been futile thus far.

    To be clear, I'm totally fine with Excel opening a blank workbook if I just click on the Excel shortcut on my taskbar, but I do NOT want Excel to open up a blank workbook when let's say I'm opening up a separate spreadsheet for a financial model.

    Once again, any help is greatly appreciated!

    Can I pin a shortcut to a blank Word file and a blank Excel file in Windows 10

    The excel shortcut cannot be pinned to taskbar

    Dear Vanessa, sorry for the long wait.

    With the help of your your suggestions I now have a much better understanding of when a shortcut can be "pinned' to the task bar.

    When I open a "txt" file in word (or in an other Office pgm) I am unable to pin the "Word icon" (or whatever) on the bar, but if I open a non-Office pgm (I used Ultraedit) I can pin the UE icon to the bar.

    When I said I could not make the icon of an EXCEL pgm "stick", I had noticed that a popup claimed that it was already pinned i. e. I already had an EXCEL icon on the task bar which I use to open EXCEL. I then realized that in response to a click on the
    EXCEL icon I obtain a window that shows a list of recent EXCEL files. This usually contains the file that I want to open.

    Thank you very much, Siegfried
