Try looking at the path returned by Application.TemplatesPath. In Excel,
press ALT F11 to open the VBA editor, then press CTRL G to open the
Immediate window. In that window, enter

?Application.TemplatesPath

and press ENTER. This will display the default templates path.

The XLSTART folders that I can locate are all empty. I can't find the
template that opens from the XL Toolbar. I can access the changed
template
from "on my computer" choice. How do I change the template that opens
from
the toolbar.
