Default Where does excel store your personal settings..?


Hi There,

Im changing machines and want to keep all my predefined layouts (buttons
etc) within Excel. I always thought they were stored in a .xlb file,
but cant seem to find it on a general search. Do I have the wrong
extension...?

Thanks

Darin

Might be hidden/system. Include these in your Search otherwise from a cmd
window:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ownercd\

C:\dir *.xlb /s
