When i go into options and change the default file location to the "F" drive
for my storage area, it won't let me do this... What am I doing wrong?

Are you sure that your computer can see the "F" drive?

its file location option, just Excel

I have a similar problem trying to keep custom toolbars which used to work
fine, but now the buttons dissapear each time I close excel ( the toolbar
remains, but is empty!)

I'm currently looking for a workaround... How did you get on?

It may not be you.

My large organisation recently upgraded to Windows XL, and as part of that
rollout implemented rules which prevent data being stored on the C Drive.

It appears Excel stores some information on the C drive,
