Default path for Templates - Windows NT, Windows XP

Greetings All,

Does anyone know the path that should be used if one wants to install a
PowerPoint templates that will be accessible to all users of Windows NT and
Windows XP?

Previously, I used C:\Documents and Settings\twms\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates\Our Templates and as a result, a new tab titled
Our Templates appeared in the templates box and it contained my custom
templates. When my coworker logged onto her machine she wasn't able to see
the templates.

You would need to make them available on your network somewhere. Have you done
that?

I haven't placed them on the network.

I bought a software add-in and the installation wizard showed a default
path of
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft.
The instructions stated that the username should be replaced with mine, twms.

I noticed that the user name in the path for Powerpoint's default templates
(In the General Tab) automatically shift according to which user is logged in
the machine.

Is there a variable of some sort that should be inserted in the path during
my initial installation or does each user have to install the templates on
their machine?

Tell your network administrator what you want to do, i.e. share the template
files with other users. He/she can set it up for you. Otherwise each user will
need to install the templates on their machine.
