Default Excel suddenly saves files through My Network Places

All of a sudden Excel opens and saves all of my files through C:\My Network
PLaces\My Documents instead of directly through C:\My Documents. I can open
any files starting with My Documents\filename but as soon as I try to open an
Excel document using MS Excel the path becomes C:\My Network Places.

I started to notice this about three or four days ago when it started taking
4-5 seconds to save the documents instead of the normal less than a second.
I have had a home network for many years and have not added any new equipment
in the last week (or software).

Any ideas?

Jack

What is the file path at "default file location" in ToolsOptionsGeneral?

Or at ButtonExcel OptionsSave "default file location"?

I checked that first and it hasn't changed from the C:\My Documents. It
doesn't mention My Network Places.
