Hmmm...let's see
If you have made templates, search your hard drive for *.xlt and back up all
of them
And yes, definitely back up personal.xls
Toolbar files have an xlb extension, so search your hard drive for *.xlb and
back them up also.
Autocorrect files have an acl extension so search your hard drive for *.acl
and back them up too
And, if you have anything in your XLStart folder, you might want to back
that up also...search your hard drive for XLStart and back up the whole
folder...of course, if you have shortcuts in there to launch addins when
Excel starts, you would also have to reinstall the addins if you had to
reinstall Excel.
I *think* that about covers it.

Subject: [mso] Saving Settings in Excel
I was thinking that if my computer crashed at work I would have to be put in
an insane asylum. I have spent a multitude of hours getting Excel as I want
it. What files should I back up. If you can lead me to a website that
explains such things that would be good also. I have a personal.xls, which
I assume I will be able to search out on the hard drive. I have several
custom tool bars and the original toll bars are no longer "original". I
would appreciate information on any and all pertinent files that are worth
backing up for customization purposes, including things like quick correct
(if possible). If I lost it ,it would literally take months to reproduce.
Thanks
Don
