Start up folder v Addin folder
 

Hi - quick question

Background

I have created an .xla that I expected to be distributed to the add-ins
folder of each potential user (msi package that will copy the file to
the appropriate location)

However, Local IT support in one of our sites would prefer it copied
to the Excel startup folder.

I prefer the 'add-in folder approach' as it allows users to easily
choose whether the add-in is loaded or not.

Local IT support understandably prefer the 'Start-Up folde'r approach
as they feel they will get less support calls.

Question

Are there any good reasons why the Start-Up folder is not a good load
method for XLA's

Many thanks
