I've looked but haven't found it, is there a good description somewhere of the default file folder locations for AGX and how they are affected by custom configurations?

From what I can tell, the two main folders are -
..\My Documents\ArcGIS Explorer\
C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\esri\arcgis explorer

The My Document folder "seems" to store the default map, while the application data folder stores the default configuration file.

However, I'd like to use a configuration file (.ncfg) on a network drive that also points to a map file (.nmf) on a network drive.  The config file would also point to a bunch of add-in files (.eaz) on a network drive. 

As I'm sure you've guessed, I want everyone in my organization looking a the same config, map files and add-ins, and I can roll out changes to any of them, without having to visit every PC.  Our setup is the application data folder is the local drive, the my document folder is a private network folder, and there is also a shared network drive.

However after fooling around with AGX for a while, it seems that My Default Map seems to hang on even after I delete it from ..\My Documents\ArcGIS Explorer\ and re-point the shared configuration file that is referenced in "Set Application Configuration" to a new .nmf.   Rolling out new .eaz files seems also to be strange since it seems like they get copied from the shared location to the application data folder.

In addition, if you have to add an non-esri reference in an add-in such as microsoft.data.odbc.dll how do you deploy that?

Has anyone figured this out and willing to share?
