Query "my documents" during excel startup

A

AY Xu

Using filemon (from systeminternals) to monitor excel during and after
startup. Found excel will query desktop.ini under folder "my
douments". It will not cause any problem in mose case, except: when
laptop users go out-side of office, and use VPN connect to company
network, in this case, excel open slow, because "my documents" was re-
direct to a folder in a file server. so it became slow when excel
query "my documents" via a slow VPN connection.

my question is: is it possbile to have Excel not query "my documents"?
I've changed "default file location" and "autorecover sale locaiton"
to other folder, but it does not help.

Thanks in advance
