Enjoy your well-earned retirement, Woody, and thanks for your personal help with my account.

Susan, welcome to the chair. I’ve been following your advice since Windows Secrets days.

This is one of those annoying programs that runs at Startup whether you want it to or not. Disable it with Autoruns and the program will only run when you start it.

I, to, find Autoruns an essential toolbox item. I’ve nothing against filehippo, which I’ve found useful and reliable, but out of courtesy to the authors, I prefer to refer users to their download site, rather than a third party’s, when possible. Autoruns’ home is at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.

Thanks for your replies. For convenience, I had already set the default format as suggested.
But your “can’t recreate” comments lead me to wonder if it only occurs when saving password-encrypted spreadsheets, which the ones I update are since we exchange them via email.
What I’d like to eliminate, if possible, is being prompted at every save to convert to the newer “more secure” format.
