Open Workbook's File Location in File Explorer

ASAP Utilities › Start › 4. 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.
