How do I change the default save and Auto Save directory
that Excel saves files? I had to replace my hard drive
and when doing so changed my directory structure.
Auto Save tries to save using the old path. I cannot
change Save Options, or access any of the Options tabs.
I get the error "Cannot access directory D:\I:\My
Documents..." How can I change my Options to my new
directory?
Thanks,

Try opening excel from Start>Run... and type excel.exe /safe. (you may need
the path but if correctly registered you won't). This should allow you to
make the changes under Tools>options...>Save and
Tools>Options...>General>default file location
