Default Changing default location of personal.xls

Beverly

ToolsOptions...GeneralAt start-up open all files in:

Excel will then use this to search for start-up files. (Normally this would
be blank)

Is there anyway--via the registry or Excel options or any other way -- to
have Excel point to a different directory to open the personal.xls file
besides the existing default directory on the C: drive under XLSTART. We
have tried a SAVE AS of the personal.xls file to our own XLSTART directory
on
a different drive. We want this partly because we often transfer files
and
programs to other computers.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
