    It seems that the directory if correct for the "Spreadsheet
    Solutions" tab for Office XP.
    ?:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033

    I moved one of the templates from the directory and started
    Excel and it was still in the list, but when I tried to use it, the
    message came up that it could not find the file. I think the
    information must be stored in the registry somewhere and the
    template file is not verified until execution of the file.
    The "General" tab is probably the standard excel template file.
    Where it is and what it is called ??? I searched for *.xlt fles and
    only the 5 solution templates were found.
