NotebookPath
• NotebookPath is a global option that determines which directories are searched when a specified notebook is needed.
• The front end searches the directories specified by NotebookPath if it needs to locate a notebook whose pathname has not been specified explicitly. Three such cases are: when you click a hyperlink pointing to an external notebook; when you try to open a notebook listed under the File 
Notebooks submenu; and when you specify a style sheet that is not found on StyleSheetPath.
• The directories to be searched are specified using the FrontEnd`FileName function or in terms of global variables such as $TopDirectory or $HomeDirectory. Typical directories included in NotebookPath are FrontEnd`FileName[{$UserAddOnsDirectory, "FrontEnd", "Palettes"}] and FrontEnd`FileName[{$TopDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", "Palettes"}].
• To change the setting for this option, click the square symbol at the right of the option to bring up a dialog box. Then click the appropriate button to add, remove, or edit a directory location.
