Save window folder list

[Gerry San Roman]

When saving an excel document (excel 2000) the "save as" window opens
up and contains five shortcut buttons on the left side. These are
"history, my documents, network places, desktop and favorites".

Is there a way of changing the shortcut buttons to different
folders???

Also when I try to save an attached excel file from an email it lists
"OLK3" as the default save in folder. Can I change the default "save
in" folder??

Thanks for your help.

XL2002...don't know about 2000......may be the same.

File>Open.

In the Look in: box, browse to the Folder you want added to the list.

Select the folder you want to add.

On the toolbar, click Tools, and then click Add to "My Places".

I think that was new in xl2002. For xl2k, you could use an addin from MS:

It's called Places.exe that allows you to update the places list.

Scroll about halfway down.

Second part of the question:

With xl2k (and higher), excel wants to help you by remembering where the file
was opened. (Different than xl97, IIRC). I don't think you can change this
behavior.
