    Open Excel to a specific folder

    When I start Excel, then do Ctrl + O to open a file, by default Excel looks to: Libraries\Documents

    Is there a way to change this so that Excel looks to a different folder when I try to open a file?

    - Select "Save" label in the left pane
    - Change the "Default File Location" under "Save Workbooks" in right side and Click "OK".
    - Close and re-open the Excel application
