Default Excel Addin and Windows Profile

Hi,

I wrote a program in Excel VBA and until last year, the location was
C:\Program Files\Libra\Libra.xla

This year, I wanted to change that path, because some users had no access to
install there, so I changed it in C:\Libra\Program\Libra.xla. So far so
good, but now and then, without no reason, Excel tries to open Libra.xla in
the old location (PF), and since I have removed it there, you first get an
error message, then you have to go in the Addins, remove from list and
restart Excel, and load the new version.

This is very annoying. I know, the reason is there is a local profile and a
network profile of the user. Excel puts an addin somewhere in the profile.
I have deleted the local profiles but still, I can't get rid of the problem
for sure (sometimes, the old one gets back - I guess when the network is
heavy used - local profile).

I understand this is more a windows question than an excel one, but maybe,
you have solved the same problem and knows a solution?

Thanks
Jos Vens
