Default Help with save as coed

We are in the process of upgrading computers at my work, windows xp and
excel 2003, I am trying to get a macro to save the workbook as a template,
with windows 98 it saved to the same place, but with windows xp it looks
like it is getting the computers name as part of the save, the code below
was recorded on two of the computers ,is there anyway to write a macro that
will work on all the computers? Most of the people here have a limited
experience with excel and this file needs to be saved as a template after
they have put in there setup data, so I was wanting to put a button on the
sheet to save it as a template, put a shortcut on the desktop and delete
this button, I have code for the shortcut and to delete the button, but I
don’t know how to make it so the save will work on all of the computers.
Thanks
