Themes stored to a network folder

I was considering setting up a few workstations, each with their own copies of DVD Architect, Vegas, Cinescore, the works. I was wondering if DVD themes could be stored in a central folder on the network so that all the copies of DVD-A would accessed the same lacation. Or with Cincscore have all the music themes stored in one location on the network.

So far I haven't found a setting telling DVD-A where to look. Anyone know if this is possible?

This may be more trouble than it is worth but might work:

1. Create two new partitions on your network, one for Themes and one for _Themes, and assign drive letters to these partitions.
2. Copy the desired theme data into the respective partitions.
3. Empty the Themes and _Themes folder on the local computer(s).
4. Mount the newly created network drives in the respective local computer Themes and _Themes folders (search Microsoft for "NTFS Mount Drive").
5. The local Themes and _Themes folders will now "contain" the data from the network shares.

If you decide to try this be sure to test what happens if two different users try to access the same theme - you may get a sharing violation.
