Clean up Excel Files with Single Sheets

Here's a quick tip for anyone who uses Microsoft Excel a lot. By default when installed, Excel files have 3 sheets in a workbook. Chances are, unless you're a power user of Excel, you never use these extra pages, heck you probably didn't even know they were there.

Go to Tools -> Options -> Then the General tab.



About halfway down is a box for default number of sheets. This will cut out the useless extra pages and help make your sheets feel and be a bit more streamlined. You might also save a few KBs in the process.
