Ok, I know this isn't a major problem, but we have a user that used to be able to
close out of Excel by clicking on the X in the upper right hand corner, and now
the X is "grayed out", so he has to go to File, Exit to get out of Excel.  We've
tried reinstalling Excel, thinking maybe a file got corrupted or something, but
that didn't help.  Has anyone ever seen this before, and do you know of a quick
fix?  Like I said, it's not a big deal, but he keeps asking me if I found a
solution to his problem yet.  

Thanks!
