Excel Opens two workbooks, one is x15galry???

Every time I open a saved excel workbook that I want to open,  it also opens another one called x15galry. After doing a Google search I found out apparently x15galry is some temporary excel sheet meant to be used in the background.

But the problem is I'm not suppose to see it. And when I exit out of my workbook, it's still there and I have to close out of it manually. It's annoying to have to close out of it every time. Why is it always opening up? I'm using office 2013 preview. I've used it quite a long time now on two different machines, and this only started to happen. It works just fine on the other machine.

1.) When I click Excel, it only opens the blank x15, when I click a spreadsheet it opens both x15 and the spreadsheet

2..) Apparently it's some type of background hidden sheet that we're not suppose to see, but we're seeing it.

3.)  This is what I see, there is nothing in the startup, but I do see the x15 file in a few places. However on the dropdown box there is no other option.

Will do asap, sorry for the delay.
I ended up going back to 2010. I have no problem there. I hate giving up on fixing problems, but I'm simply blaming it on 2013 bugs :P Thanks for the help though
Thanks, Pancake_Effect. Sorry we couldn't come up with a better solution.
