Can't set Excel Options

Hi everyone,
When I delete a folder I do not need anymore from my computer, I can no
longer change tabs in the Options dialog. I get the message:
Can't access the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\My
documents\Deleted folder name".
That folder is empty and is not refered to in the options.

What could it be?
Thanks to anyone who can help.
 
Why do I get no answer? Is that a to difficult problem to solve or what?

It seems to me that this problem relates to Excel internal settings. Here is
another try on the problem description:

I once set a specific folder to be the default folder for Excel files. This
folder is no longer needed and I want to delete it. But when I do, I get an
error message saying that the folder cannot be accessed.

Can it be some registry settings? I do not know. I would like to get some
advice from someone.

Thank you.
 
Hi everyone,

I found the problem by myself. I searched the registry and found the folder
name. I changed the key nameto "My documents" and it works fine now.

The registry key is:

HKEY_CURENT_USER/SOftware/Microsoft/Office/11.0/Excel/Options

Hoping this may help someone.
