Moving Excel files without opening them

[StephenUK]

Kinook, many thanks for that very helpful and speedy reply.

I like to use the keyboard without the mouse, so the Alt routine is very handy and mainly solves the problem.

Just in case it's possible, if ever there were some way to have the Alt setting as the default I think I would prefer that. The problem is that as I run up and down the tree I might forget the need to apply the Alt key, and then, bingo, I will have to wait while Excel loads (painfully slowly) and I will get stuck in the tree while it does so.

Nonetheless, much appreciated. By the way, I like the way that having used Alt one can then release the Alt key and the effect remains so as to do another operation such as move.
