I have some code below of hyperlinking a bunch of files under a file folder. What this code does is that it makes me pick the folder I want to hyperlink. How can I give it specific folder to hyperlink for me already without asking me the filepath? I do not want to pick the folder because it can lead to errors if I pick the wrong folder. I already know which folder I will use.

VBA Code:
Sub Example1()
'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xFSO As Object
    Dim xFolder As Object
    Dim xFile As Object
    Dim xFiDialog As FileDialog
    Dim xPath As String
    Dim i As Integer
    Set xFiDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    If xFiDialog.Show = -1 Then
        xPath = xFiDialog.SelectedItems(1)
    End If
    Set xFiDialog = Nothing
    If xPath = "" Then Exit Sub
    Set xFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set xFolder = xFSO.GetFolder(xPath)
    For Each xFile In xFolder.Files
        i = i + 1
        ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks.Add Cells(i + 12, 1), xFile.Path, , , xFile.Name
    Next
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
Replace:
VBA Code:
    Set xFiDialog = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
    If xFiDialog.Show = -1 Then
        xPath = xFiDialog.SelectedItems(1)
    End If
    Set xFiDialog = Nothing
    If xPath = "" Then Exit Sub
with:
VBA Code:
    xPath = "C:\path\to\folder"
