Eric-- the benefit of an al= ias/junction/link/shortcut/etc is that it's live; you update one locati= on, and it works everywhere.

A more extreme use of this would be to have a directory on a= cloud service (such as Dropbox) in which you have a folder each for your p= resets, plugins, scripts/scriptUI, and link the Dropbox folders to each of = these. That way, all of your extensions are pre-synced on all your computer= s, and you only need to update one spot to have the same tools available ev= erywhere. Pair this with linking the ModifiedWorkspaces/OriginalUserWorkspa= ces folders for AE (a bit more hidden and rather clunky/not 100% effective)= , and even your workspaces would be synced up everywhere.

If anyone's done this more advanced/more adeptly, w= ould love to read a guide (though this is getting fairly OT for this thread= ).
