Change xlstart path - using policy
Is there a way to change the path of the xlstart folder , so that it points
to a network path. I know there is an alternate startup path but that is for XL templates. I need to point to a macro , so that the macro starts up when opening excel. Hope this makes sense. |

I wouldn't change this setting (even if I knew how). And I wouldn't want you to
change it for me, either. Have you thought of just telling people to install an addin: tools|addins and point to that network workbook Craig wrote: Is there a way to change the path of the xlstart folder , so that it points to a network path.

Hi Dave,
So there is no way of change, the reason why i want to change it is because i administer quite a few desktops and i want to standardize them in regards to templates and therefore i ant to be able to automate the process instead of having to go to each machine and set it up. At the moment we have an xls wksheet which holds the macros and this has to copied to each users xlstart folder , thats why i wanted to know if there was any way of pointing it to a network path instead of having to do it manually for each user.

There may be a way--but I wouldn't do it.
You could put your addin into that alternate startup folder. It should be opened.
