Hi!
In v10.0, we used a setup for multiple search paths for map templates as per this instruction
To create multiple System template locations, you can modify the following registry key, separating folders with a semicolon (;).
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\Desktop10.0\ArcMap\Settings\TemplateDir
<install drive>:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\MapTemplates;<install drive>:\More System Templates
The purpose of this was to supply users with a common set of templates from a designated location as well as the local standard ones
After upgrading to v10.1 this setup seems no longer possible. The semicolon is not accepted in the path(s) string.
I'd be pleased if someone can confirm that there in fact has been a deliberate change in syntax to disallow multiple paths, or if the separator has been changed.
Regards, Mats.E
