user.lib: change the standard path in LV8

Is it possible to change the standard path for the user.lib ? I want to change it to a network path.
I have the Problem, that LV6i (i have installed before LV8.20) was installed in a network path and so the user.lib too.
Now i want to change the user.lib to a network path to have connection from two PC's to the same user.lib.
Because when i now open my old vi's , stored in the old user.lib (LV6i) LV8.20 searches for subvi's in the user.lib path (local installed in LV8.20) and doesn't find it... I added the network path to the options paths, but this doesn't help me. I had to change the standard user.lib path. Does anyone know how it works ???

I think you can do that with Tools >> Advanced >> Edit Palette Set

And then somehow link your palettes sets to the folder you want, thing is you'll have to relink all the existing subpalette Smiley Indifferent which is probably not a good idea.

You also have some information in Tools >> Options >> Controls/Functions Palette

Hope this helps

I use the Tools >> Advanced >> Edit Palette Set
but i can't change the standard path for the user.lib. I only create a new palette with my new path user.lib.
(This doesn't solve my Problem. When i open the Toplevel VI, the sub vi's where searched in the user.lib and there are no ones !)

But this is not what i want. I want to change the path, where LV finds the user.lib !!!
