To add a file location:

  1. In the Task Pane, select the Design Library tab .
  2. Click Add File Location .
  3. In the Choose Folder dialog box, browse to a folder, then click OK.
    You can select Show assemblies only to filter the files when you browse.

    The folder appears at the top level (the same level as the Design Library folder) in the upper pane.

    The folder is added to the file location list for Design Library. To access the list, click Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations.

    If you delete a folder that you added using this procedure, the folder remains on disk. Only the reference in Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations is removed.
