Change the default Support folder

Good Morning Everyone,

I am new to AutoCad first and foremost. I am trying to setup individual profiles, and currently we use custom .lsp files (which we auto launch) that refer to custom files in the " C:\Users\user.domain\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2014\R19.1\enu\Support folder. When I replace this folder with my custom Support folder the application adds custom toolbars and whatnot. Problem is I do not want to replace this folder every time a new user uses AutoCad. I would like to replace this folder path to something that is not related to a local windows profile ie: "C:\AutoDesk_Files\Support".

I create a new profile in Options and set the "Files" option "Support Files Search Path" as well as the "Trusted Path" to "C:\AutoDesk_Files\Support". In this folder I place my custom support files as well as the default files. When I launch AutoCad I do not see my customs and the "Trusted Path" is still untrusted. I have enabled "SECURELOAD = 0".

I am sure I am missing something in regards to getting these profiles to see my "Support" folder, any help would be much appreciated.

You can change the support paths via lisp plus lots of other stuff.
