Update Excel Files path from old folder to new folder inside Pinned and search results
Hi everyone! I have been trying to find a solution to this but pulling my hair out here : } I had all my pinned XLSX files in Excel in this folder: /Documents/Info/Old Folder I have moved all ...
Jackie0090 These MRU's are kept in your Registry, in several places. Start looking here:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\File MRU
Each pinned file in there starts with this text:
[F00000001]
All unpinned ones start with [F00000000]
You could edit those entries directly in the registry,
Note that there is also this branch that contains one or more MRU lists, depending on how many OneDrive and other on-line services you use:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\User MRU
Expand that branch to see one or more other File MRU lists.

- Thx a lot, will test it out!
most of my files are locally, not on One Drive... would those Keys be the same for Local Files? thanks!- Any pinned file starts with the F00000001 code, regardless of the location. I was wrong about the other branches in registry, they are not about OneDrive or Sharepoint accounts, they are about the accounts you are logged in with while using Excel. If you look at the File, Account tab of Excel close to the top there is a link to switch account. If you switch to another account, you will see the (part of the) MRU that pertains to that account. That MRU is kept in a separate folder in the registry, one for each account you ever used in Office.
- thx a bunch, will check it out, appreciated!!!
