Personal.xls is similar to normal.dot in word. It is the base template for the application. If you do not want the macros to load each time, rename personal.xls to something else and access it as needed. DimensionalSolutions@Core.com

Excel will automatically load all files in the xlstart directory. It doesn't matter what the name is, all files in that directory will load.
If you don't want them to load then you need to move it to another directory.

I have done a similar thing as described above... I created an excel file named personal.xls and put it in my xlstart directory, and it opens up every time I start excel. The file includes sheet1 etc which look just like any other open spreadsheet. It is not hidden to me.
I can get rid of it by moving personal.xls to another directory (not xlstart), but then I don't have my macro's available unless I go find the file and open it.

Here is your solution from the Excel help:
Hide a workbook
1 Open the workbook.
2 On the Window menu, click Hide.
Note When you quit Microsoft Excel and a message asks if you want to save changes to the hidden workbook, click Yes. The next time you open the workbook, the workbook window remains hidden.
Regards,
Joerd
