Change Default Add-in Folder
Great Day! Is there a way to change default add-in folder in Excel so in stead of going to the C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application Data\Microsoft\Addins\ it goes to my folder (C:/MyAddins). Thank you.

I think if you use Regedit to modify this key value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\General\AddIns from "AddIns" to your path "C:\MyAddins", when you click the Browse button on the Addins dialog it will open to that folder. -- Jim "compound" wrote in message ... | | Great Day! | Is there a way to change default add-in folder in Excel so in stead of | going to the C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Application | Data\Microsoft\Addins\ it goes to my folder (C:/MyAddins). | | Thank you. | Compound. | | | -- | compound | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | compound's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=11556 | View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=386889 | |

Jim, Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestion but excel would not recognize any paths in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\General\AddIns string. I tried different paths but no luck. If I type default value "AddIns" then it brings me back to the default addin folder. If I type C:\MyAddIns or "C:\MyAddins" it directs me to the C: drive. I even tried C:\Temp. It seams excel doesn't except paths. It is looking for string such as AddIns or Template. Thank you again.
