Opening Files/Folders

[Guest]

I am using Microsoft Excel 2000.

When I click on the Open menu option, the Open box pops up in the directory
I normally use. The directory contains a number of folders and a few Excel
files. It defaults to highlighting the first Excel file. But, in most
instances I need a file folder and have to use the scroll bar to go left to
select the folder.

Is there a way I can set up Excel so that when I Open, it will highlight the
first folder in the directory and not the first file?

If you click on Tools>Options and select the General tab, you will se
the "Default File Location" that Excel uses. You can edit this to you
desired folder location.
