Set Temporary Default File Location to Current FolderASAP Utilities › File & System › 9. Set Temporary Default File Location to Current FolderThis tool temporarily sets Excel's default folder to the location of your current workbook. As a result, when you use Excel's classic Open (Control+F12) or Save (Alt+F2 or F12) dialogs, they will start in this folder, making it quicker to open or save related files without browsing through folders. It's useful when:Important to know:Regardless of this setting, Alt+F2 or F12 always uses the classic Save As dialog, and Control+F12 always uses the classic File Open dialog. If you prefer the classic Windows-style Open and Save dialogs also for the other shortcuts, you can use the following setting in Excel: 1. Go to File > Options > Save 2. Enable "Don't show the Backstage when opening or saving files with keyboard shortcuts." Screenshots![]() Starting this tool
