If you run Vista or higher and you have multiple boxes that you use to play EQ2 on, here is a handy way to tie all your script folders to one place.
1. Back up all of your scripts directories so you don't loose any modifications.
2. Share out your main scripts folder on the network.
3. Delete all the scripts directories except for the main one you will be using as a server folder.
4. Open your command prompt as an administrator:

and navigate to your innerspace directory.
5. When you reach your innerspace directory type "mklink /D Scripts <path to scripts dir>"
for example mine looks like this "mklink /D Scripts \\AweSome\InnerSpace\Scripts"
AweSome is the name of my server PC and "InnerSpace" is the name of the shared folder with "Scripts" being the sub folder.
You only have to do this once, and the link will persist until you turn it off.
Now, the downside. This system always has to be turned on to use your scripts dir. This alone will make it useless to some of you.
You MUST have Vista running on all the PC's you do this to, but the server can be anything.
If your innerspace folder is on anything but C:\ Try this out.

Essential what it says is, open notepad and cut / paste
into it and save it as "a.reg" then open the file and import it to your registry.
This will give you a "Open Command Prompt As Admin here" type menu option.
Then all you have to do is go to your innerspace folder and right click on it, and choose "Open Command Prompt As Admin here." And follow step 5.
