Default Moving personal.xls

Hello,
Is there a way to change the location of the XLSTART folder? We have a
process that backs up the "My Documents" folder, but XLSTART isn't in
there, and I'd like my macro workbook included in the backup in case
anything ever happens to my hard drive.

I tried creating a new XLSTART folder in My Documents and entering the
folder location in the Alternate Startup File Location on the general
tab of the options dialog box. However, this gives me an error telling
me I can't have two files named Personal.xls open at the same time.

If there's a setting somewhere that I can use to change the primary
startup file location, I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know
where it is. Excel2000, XPPro.

Thanks for the help.

Mike
