Using Junctions - Windows >= 2000
a) Your file system needs to be NTFS!
b) Download the Junction tool from the Microsoft page: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx
c) You do not need to install the tool, just copy it to your Sketchup directory.
d) Move i.e. the Sketchup Tools directory to 
e) Open the command line, change to Sketchup directory.
f) Type:
junction Tools C;\Tools
g) Run Sketchup. Nothing should have changed.
If you want to remove the Tools junction from Sketchup directory, type
junction -d Tools
Only the junction will be removed, not C:\Tools
Why this is useful? :: If you run mutliple Sketchup versions on the same computer, all of them can have access on exactly the same files. You only need to update one directory. You will have the same ressources in your different Sketchup version. And if you haven't user permission to write to Sketchup directory, you can ask your admin to set the junction to your user directory
An idea for small companies / networks :: To have all your computers using the same ressources, you can link net ressources to drive letters an than hook them to Sketchup using junctions. So you could use a NAS to store all the relevant stuff.
