Default Change Code in Macro to specify file/folder to look in.

I have a macro that when run, will prompt me to select the folder and file my
information is in. However the information will always be in this location.
How can I change my code so when it is run, it will automatically look in
that folder and file for the information instead of prompting me. Here is
the code:

' Start Code

Declare Function OpenProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal dwDesiredAccess As Long, _
ByVal bInheritHandle As Long, _
ByVal dwProcessId As Long) As Long

Declare Function GetExitCodeProcess Lib "kernel32" _
(ByVal hProcess As Long, _
lpExitCode As Long) As Long

Public Const PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION = &H400
Public Const STILL_ACTIVE = &H103


Public Sub ShellAndWait(ByVal PathName As String, Optional WindowState)
Dim hProg As Long
Dim hProcess As Long, ExitCode As Long
'fill in the missing parameter and execute the program
If IsMissing(WindowState) Then WindowState = 1
hProg = Shell(PathName, WindowState)
'hProg is a "process ID under Win32. To get the process handle:
hProcess = OpenProcess(PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, False, hProg)
Do
'populate Exitcode variable
GetExitCodeProcess hProcess, ExitCode
DoEvents
Loop While ExitCode = STILL_ACTIVE
End Sub


Sub Merge_CSV_Files()
Dim BatFileName As String
Dim TXTFileName As String
Dim XLSFileName As String
Dim DefPath As String
Dim Wb As Workbook
Dim oApp As Object
Dim oFolder
Dim foldername

'Create two temporary file names
BatFileName = Environ("Temp") & "\CollectCSVData" & Format(Now,
"dd-mm-yy-h-mm-ss") & ".bat"
TXTFileName = Environ("Temp") & "\AllCSV" & Format(Now,
"dd-mm-yy-h-mm-ss") & ".txt"

' Create path to xls file
DefPath = "C:\Documents and Settings\dmobley\Desktop\JunkFolder\TESTEXCEL"
If Right(DefPath, 1) < "\" Then
DefPath = DefPath & "\"
End If
XLSFileName = DefPath & "MasterSystemInfo " & Format(Now, "dd-mm-yy
h-mm-ss") & ".xls"

'Browse to the folder with CSV files
Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set oFolder = oApp.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select folder with CSV files", 512)
If Not oFolder Is Nothing Then
foldername = oFolder.Self.Path
If Right(foldername, 1) < "\" Then
foldername = foldername & "\"
End If

'Create the bat file
Open BatFileName For Output As #1
Print #1, "Copy " & Chr(34) & foldername & "*systeminfo.csv" &
Chr(34) & " " & TXTFileName
Close #1

'Run the Bat file to collect all data from the CSV files into a TXT
file
ShellAndWait BatFileName, 0
If Dir(TXTFileName) = "" Then
MsgBox "There are no csv files in this folder"
Kill BatFileName
Exit Sub
End If

'Open the TXT file in Excel
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:=TXTFileName, Origin:=xlWindows,
StartRow _
:=1, DataType:=xlDelimited, TextQualifier:=xlDoubleQuote, _
ConsecutiveDelimiter:=False, Tab:=False, Semicolon:=False,
Comma:=True, _
Space:=False, Other:=False

'Save text file as a XLS file
Set Wb = ActiveWorkbook
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Wb.SaveAs Filename:=XLSFileName, FileFormat:=xlWorkbookNormal
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Wb.Close savechanges:=False
MsgBox "You find the XLS file he " & XLSFileName

'Delete the bat and text file you have create
Kill BatFileName
Kill TXTFileName

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End If
End Sub
' End code
