    Update the Path Location for Pinned and Recent Files

    Is there an easy way to update the path location for pinned and recent files in Excel or actually any Office app?

    I moved my Dropbox folder from D:\Dropbox to F:\Dropbox, and now all my pinned favorites and recent files all open with an error due to not being able to find them.

    Hoping there is a simple way to do a find and replace in the registry or somewhere.

    Any suggestions?

    Actually, I figured out a quick way. I just exported the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office key, then did a Find and Replace on it, and then added it back to the registry. All seems good for now, and it worked for all office apps.
