My office has made things so much "easier" (sarcasm) by moving all employees to using Virtual Machines. As a result, all VM's are now connected to our 'network' at all times.

Granted, we need/rely on a good internet to actually be productive now.

But.... with this new approach, I would like to be able to move certain global Addins to a network folder location.

We are using Office 2013, and I think there are actually 2 StartUp location paths available? I'm still researching, but can you possible add a 3rd location or do I need edit one of them?

I would prefer for each user or VM to still have their default %APPDATA%... path, and to possible point a 2nd to the network.

And I found this article that talks about a 2nd location, but it also says it can't be moved.

But I would think possibly a Registry Key change could move this to any folder you want?

I'm off to go experiment
