ASAP Utilities  › File & System  ›  19. Open Workbook's File Location in File Explorer

This tool opens the folder that contains your current Excel workbook in Windows File Explorer, with the file pre-selected. Use it when you want to:
  • Quickly locate the file you're working on
  • Access, rename, or organize related files in the same folder
  • Open the file's folder without browsing manually
  • Add supporting documents to the workbook's location Unlike Excel's built-in File > Info > Open file location (available only in recent Excel versions), our tool works in all Excel versions and highlights the file directly, saving you time. Tip: Add this tool to your 'My Tools & Shortcuts' menu and assign a shortcut for even quicker access.
