There should always be 2 XLSTART folders - one is user specific, and possibly affected by the user's view settings in Explorer, and the other will be under the Office version folder in Program Files.
</div>


<div>
But there is none.<br />
However I copied the macro under the Excel folder, parent of XLSTART and restarted Excel. Seems it creates the folder now. Not sure how it will be tomorrow after the user restarts. Don't want to bother them more than I have to.<br />
<br />
For 2010 and 2013 which I run on my workstation the XLSTART folder has the same location for Windows 10 - Users\[user]\AppData\Roami<wbr />ng\Microso<wbr />ft\Excel.

If that's the case, then this is the solution.<br />
<br />
On some computers, and I ma sure they did not record any macros, folders existed.<br />
Let me verify this to know the reason why the XLSTART folder was not created.<br />
Thank you.

<div>
AppData is a hidden folder by default, so unless the user has amended the Explorer options to show that folder, you wouldn't be able to find XLSTART there.
</div>


<div>
Yes, Ken. Recording a macro creates the folder as well.<br />
Not sure if this is the reason why it was not in the first place, but I accept it. Thank you.

Rory, this is not a question.<br />
By the way, I pointed the directory in the message somewhere above.
