Hi,

I'm trying to implement new templates and formats and all that good stuff at my current company. The plan is to have all the sheet formats / document templates / custom property files in one of our cloud servers (we are still seeing whether its going to be Dropbox or Sharepoint). . .

Regardless of which service we end up using, both of them have the "install into windows explorer add-in" so that its not necessarily a web location but a local location like:

C:\\Users\\ \\ Dropbox \\ Templates \\ Solidworks \\ Properties

or

C:\\Users\\ \\ Sharepoint \\ Templates \\ Solidworks \\ Properties

Now, I know as far as windows is concerned, I can replace C:\\Users\\ with %USERPROFILE%, making the above paths into:

%USERPROFILE\\ Dropbox \\ Templates . . ..

I try adding that path into the Solidworks "file locations" however it doesnt "accept it" as a path, even if I add it manually in the "Edit all". Once I save the settings and load them in a different computer solidworks says "path does not exist, do you want to delete it?"
For some reason Solidworks doesnt resolve %USERPROFILE% to C:\\Users\\ \\

Is there a way to easily propagate these file locations to everyone in teh company without having them to manually set it up themselves?
