Default location for XLA's that I can easily get to

Not XLSTART. Everything in XLSTART is opened, and the user might not like
that. The default directory for Excel add-ins is

C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Microsoft\Add-Ins

or

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\Library

But Excel doesn't care where an add-in is installed from, so you could
create a directory within

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\

for your add-ins.

Actually, thinking about it now it seems that if I could put this into
All Users it would be even better. But when I looked inside:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\OFFICE

I did not see an EXCEL folder. If I make a

C:\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Excel
\XLSTART

will Excel look there?
