openning Excel or Access files directly

I use Excel and Access 2003 and I am wondering when I first open they
programs is there some way to tell them that when I click on the open
file menu it will know that my Access files are in a directory called
Access while my Excel files are in another directory. At present the
programs both open to the My Documents directory and then I have to
click a couple of times to get to the proper directory. Many thanks.

I guess you didn't look under Tools-->Options--> General Tab near the
bottom?
