Hi John & Niek!

If you put your Addins in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\Library

You don't need to browse to find the Addin.

It also makes life easier on removal as all Addins you install are in one
place. I believe that there are removal problems if the Addin is not located
in the Library file where pre-2000 versions are concerned.
