The mournful tales of users who save files from Office
programs directly to floppy disks are too many to relate.
There should be a default setting in Office that prevents
this. At the very least Office programs should provide
heads-up warnings on the order of "You are about to try and
save a directly to a 1.4 megabyte floppy disk. This Is Not A
Good Idea. Save the file on your hard disk and copy it to
the floppy with Windows Explorer."

A convenient access to Windows Explorer from within Office
programs wouldn't be a bad thing either.

I agree with the idea for a shortcut to explorer...I work entirely from
explorer instead of using the open icons in most office applications and it
took awhile for me to even find it (under accesories) when I switched to
Windows xp recently. I guess I am just resistant to change....so I have a
shortcut icon on my desktop now!

will fetch up Explorer.

shortcut to explorer.


I have a button on my toolbar assigned to the following macro, which
opens an explorer window with the current file's folder:


Sub OpenCurrentFolder()

On Error Resume Next
Dim CurFold As String

CurFold = Application.ActiveWindow.Document.Path
Call Shell("c:\windows\explorer.exe /e, " & CurFold, vbNormalFocus)

End Sub
