Actually, they can be put almost anywhere you choose. You just have
to tell EXCEL where to find it if you want to use it (i.e. "Browse").
For personal use, the add-ins directory is usually the best choice, so
they are all in one spot. But there can be reasons not to put them
there.

Addins don't go in the start up directory, or the local directory,
they go in the add-ins directory.
