...but I've never bothered to define it.

How do I set the paths for the default Common Folders? System Tables, User Tables, System Formats, Pro Library etc?  These appear in the Open dialog in different permutations depending upon what you are trying to add. There used to be on called Templates that worked for us but it disappeared in M090....

And yes, I know I can RMB on a folder and select "Add to Common Folders" but I want this as a config option so I can distribute it to all users at once.

TIA

Have a look at this discussion: Evolution from one user to two

There are some config files attached.

I saw that but there's no list that correlates the config option with the Common Folder name....

If you are asking about the list in the left side of the open windows here are some of them:

The folders named "System ..." can't be customized. They always point to the specific sub-directory within the loadpoint.

System Tables    <proe_loadpoint>\Common Files\M120\text\table

System Formats        <proe_loadpoint>\Common Files\M120\formats

System syms  <proe_loadpoint>\Common Files\M120\symbols\library_syms

The options below are controlled by config.pro options:

Pro Library    pro_library_dir

Templates    start_model_dir

User Tables    pro_table_dir

User Formats pro_format_dir

User Syms   pro_symbol_dir

Material Directory pro_material_dir

Thanks ... except that in Creo 3 M090, "Templates" disappeared in drawing mode when trying to add a Table From File...  Used that pretty frequently and now I have to a ton of browsing.
