software

My excel folders get quite large. I try and find my files by changing my
file format to details and then sort by date to locate my most recent files.
How can I change the way windows stores my files so that they always open in
detail and the most recent file is sorted to the top of the list? Sorry if
this is not an excel function question, I just find you guys always have
great guick answers.

Try this in Explorer
Click on a folder in the left pane
Click View gt; Details, then click to sort quot;Date Modifiedquot; descending
Then click Tools gt; Folder Options gt; View tab gt; Apply to all folders gt; Yes

In his words:
quot;.. This is a simple add-in I wrote that allows you to access frequently
used files and folders from within Excel, much like the 'Favorites' feature
in Internet Explorer or 'Bookmarks' in Netscape Navigator. The add-in allows
you to open your favourite files, or display the file open dialog at a
particular folder.... quot;
