Excel 2007 does not close properly

Excel 2007 does not close properly I've noticed some odd behavior with Excel 2007 and I'm curious if others have seen this. When clicking the application close (big red X), Excel actually closed down the open workbook, yet leaves the application open. If I alt + F4 the window, the application closes along with the open workbook (what I'd expect to happen).

"Go to Office Menu - Excel Options - Advanced and clear the check box next to ""Show all windows in the taskbar""

With this option checked, you get the behavior described. With it unchecked, you get the behavior you want. Note that if you like seeing all your workbooks separately in the taskbar, you'll have to choose which ""feature"" you like better."

"If you remove the personal.xls (or personal.xlsb), you will also lose any start-up macros, etc that you may have.

It is a compromise as to which features and behaviors you value the most."
