Now what happened?
 

I am trying to set up Excel on my new computer (a Vista 64 bit). For some
reason(s) or other, Excel is seriously wanting to file all my Excel files
he C:\Windows\System32. Obviously I do NOT want to file them there!! lol.
I would like to file them on my HP Media Drive, My Documents folder located
in my K drive. Nothing seems to work for me. Anyone offer me any assistance
or should I just delete Excel an reinstall?

If your Excel help isn't working, then a reinstall is probably a good idea.
If it is, "default" will point you at the topic: Change the default working
folder

I'm NOT sure about this but maybe you MUST have a version for the 64 bit????

You might want to check with the Windows newsgroups on this one.

In Excel 2007, review the setting in Excel Options, Save, Default file
location.

Prior versions, Tools, Options, Save
