EXCEL: Saving the Autosave Settings

[theDabster]

Folks,
I have just spent a few hours downloading every update for Office 2000. I was hoping that one of the updates would allow me to save the options for Autosave in Excel. As you may know, the default setting is to save every 10 minutes. Every time I open Excel I have to change the setting to my preference of 30 minutes. Is there some way that I can change the default time and have Excel remember it?

I did a search in this forum for info on this topic, but did not find an answer. If it has been covered, point me to the answer and pardon my repeating the question.

Thanks for any assistance.
