Visio 2003 - "My Shapes" location?

[Kari Yli-Kuha]

Hi,

Is it possible to change the location of File->Shapes->My Shapes from
the default "My Documents\My Shapes" directory to somewhere else?

I couldn't find any registry setting which defines this so I presume it's hard-coded?
Setting Tools->Options->Advanced->File Paths...->Stencils: path to point
to a directory adds the shapes in that directory to File->Shapes menu
but doesn't allow subdirecties.

Of course, we can always add our own custom menu item which would
work roughly as "My Shapes", but is there another way?

/C

Hi, Kari: Unfortunately, you can't change the location of MyShapes through the UI or programmatically. We will look at addressing

this in a future release of Visio.

OK, thanks.
We'll probably use the FilePaths settings for the time being.

Thanks,
Mai-lan
