I have not been able to change that default.  Perhaps someone else will jump
in.

A macro can be used.

Sub PathInFooter()
   ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = ActiveWorkbook.FullName & " " & _
      ActiveSheet.Name & " " & Application.UserName & _
      " " & Format(Now(), "h:mm:ss AM/PM")
End Sub

To just enter the time in the footer.......

Sub TimeFooter()
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Format(Now(), "h:mm:ss AM/PM")
End Sub
