When you start Excel in safe mode, Excel bypasses all files that are stored in the startup folders. For example, Excel bypasses the Xlstart folder and the alternative startup file folder that you specify.

Note In Excel 2007, you specify the alternative startup file folder on the Advanced page in the Excel Options dialog box. In Excel 2003, you specify the alternative startup file folder on the General tab in the Options dialog box.

If you use the /embedded option or the /e option to start Excel, Excel starts in embedded mode.
