      I'm using SU8 at work and we have a policy that won't allow me to install or copy a file onto the C:/Programs folder or any folders therein. Thus, I cannot put plugins into my "Plugins" folder. Is there a way to get SU to look for plugins in an alternate location? I can, for instance, add to a new plugins folder in MyDocuments.

      Thanks for your help!
