You can change the default file location even if you cant do it through the
Options dialogue box. Find the entry in the system registry files as I did
and change it there.
My problem was that I didnt key in the "\" and got the same message but
couldnt access any tab in Options. To fix, run "REGEDIT"and find
Microsoft\Office\Excel\Options. Just change the entry to the correct file
path.
Save or back up the registry first.

I try to use the "Tools- options" and to direct a saving or retrieving
file
from a specific route but each time the refer me to a old route Saying
"cannot access directory d\donnée ancien ordinateur\..." without giving
the
choice to change the latter. If I try an other options as
"tools-options-general", the same notation appear without giving any
choice.
In brief, it is impossible to modify the tools-options in the Excel
program.
How can I change it ? I already reinstall the program without success...

Try d:\donnée ancien ordinateur\... in tools-options-save (you missed the
colon)
