The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, versions 5.0, 5.0c
Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Excel, when the custom button image with the deck of cards on it is added to a toolbar but is not assigned to a macro, the custom button will start the Microsoft Windows Solitaire game when it is chosen. The same behavior applies to the custom button with the calculator image; when this button is not assigned to a macro, choosing this button will start Microsoft Calculator.

This behavior is by design.
