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

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
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"
