AudioBOOKS! 📚 Audiobooks are real reading, they are real books! Audiobooks make reading more accessible, they make reading more equitable! Just read! Read in the way that brings you joy (or your preferred reading emotion) ✨ Audiobooks encourage literacy. There is no debate, in a world of reluctant readers, when it comes to encouraging folks to read & to look forward to reading. Thank you for reading 💛

Remove files from the XLStart folder and the alternative startup folders

To remove files from the XLStart folder and the alternative startup folders, follow these steps:

  1. Select Start, and then select Run.
  2. In the Open box, type one of the following and press Enter:

  3. Delete any files in the XLStart folder or move them to another folder.
