Altering default open all files in folder option

Question

Excel has an option within Excel/File/Options/Advanced which allows a user to have files within a folder open on startup. This is located under the general tab in Advanced which is called " At startup, open all files in: ".

• Could this potentially be manipulated through VBA?

I've done some research but found nothing on this topic. I'd like to create a simple sub that sets this to C:\\test

Sub SetFolder()

'Do something to set option to ("C:\test")

End Sub

Answer 1

The property you're after is Application.AltStartupPath

Sub SetFolder()
    Application.AltStartupPath = "C:\test\"
End Sub
