    Finding and deleteing .exd files

    Trying to find .exd files and delete them.
    The results of most of what I have read or results of asking people suggests that they are usually findable if you look for a temp or temp somewhere in a file path

    These appear a bit difficult to find sometimes . You can try:

    _ manually navigating

    _ a windows explorer search for *.exd

    _ a search in a small bar using %temp% or %Temp%
    You can get the small bar from either hitting WindowsKey+r or by selecting the Windows symbol

    It seems a bit inconsistent which search finds what, but usually it is said that you find important places looking something like these:
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0
    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE


    I found sometimes .exd files here also
    C:\Users\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms

    Some other typical places I found
    C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms
    C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Administrator\AppData\LocalLow

    This is one of my typical attempts to get a ActiveX control button to_... either
    _ insert into worksheet
    or , if already three
    _ work
    _... by deleting .exd files

    What I typically tried:
    I looked here C:\Users\Elston\AppData\Local\Temp\Excel8.0
    I found this:

    I deleted that MSForms.exd File ( Excel had to be closed to do that ) : It had no effect. ( By the way, MSForms.exd gets made again every time I hit the button, or it appears to get made as soon as I open any file that either has or has ever had a control embedded in a worksheet)


    In C:\Users\Elston\AppData\Local\Temp\VBE I found these:

    So…for these files I did:…
    MSComctlLib.exd : I deleted this , - no effect
    MSForms.exd : This could not be deleted with Excel 2003 open, it can when it is closed. But that had no effect
    RefEdit.exd : This could not be deleted with Excel 2003 open, it can when it is closed. But no that had effect
    ( By the way, MSForms.exd and RefEdit.exd get made again every time I hit the button, or it appears to get made as soon as I open any file that either has, or has ever had, a control embedded in a worksheet )


    In C:\Users\Elston\Application Data\Microsoft\Forms
    I found these:

    So……for these files I did:…
    RefEdit.exd This could not be deleted with Excel 2003 open, it can when it is closed. But that had no effect
    mscomctllib.exd I deleted this: That had no effect
    SHDocVw.exd I deleted this: That had no effect
    ( By the way, MSForms.exd gets made again every time I hit the button, or it appears to get made as soon as I open any file that either has or has ever had a control embedded in a worksheet)

    _.._______________-

    So for me none of that helped to get me a working ActiveX control Button in a worksheet.
