I have created some custom controls for a labview project that I am working on. I am trying to keep all the files and folders in the same location. I would like to add the file location to the path for the pallete menu, so that my custom controls show up on the pallete menu.
The help file for customizing environment said there is a menusdir on the user preferences menu, but I can't find that.
v 8.5

I'm not entirely sure about this, but I thought that custom functions for your palette menu had to be placed in:
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.5\user.lib\
Anything in here is automatically loaded at launch and appears in the palette.
This doesn't mean that it's not impossible to do what you want however, someone else may know how to achieve it...

I don't quite understand what you mean by this, as I don't know what "user preferences menu" you are referring to.
You can either place stuff in the user.lib folder as already mentioned, or you can edit the palette and add a panel that links to a folder anywhere on your hard drive. Check the LabVIEW Help on how to edit palette sets.

As smercurio said, search the LabVIEW help for this "Editing a Palette Set".
If you need handholding, follow these step-by-step instructions:
