Why does Office always save my file in a temp folder?
 
I have to move through at least 5 folders just to get to the folder I want to
save my file in, why cant Excel or any other application remember where I
saved last and just take me there?

Why does Office always save my file in a temp folder?
 
Office and most other applications will save to the folder from which you opened
the file.

If you're doing a FileSave As to a non-default folder you could always stick
that folder on the "My Places" bar and a single click will open that folder.

In Excel to set an open/save default folder go to ToolsOptionsGeneral and
place a path in "Default file location".
