After upgrading to the 2012 version of SolidWorks, Brian told us that the Design Library Folder was missing from his Task Pane. He was expecting to see it as per the image in Fig. 1:

Instead, his Task Pane looked like the image shown in Fig. 2:

Fig. 2: No Design Library Folder

Fortunately the procedure for “getting back” the Design Library Folder is pretty simple. Just watch this video:

   I used the second method in the video:
   Tools > Options > System Options > File Locations
   ComboBox “Shows folder for:” Design Library
   Click Add, and browse to c:\ProgramData\Solidworks\Solidworks 20xx\design library

   The first method does the same:
   In the design library tab, click “Add File Location” button (two buttons left of “Refresh/Reload” button), and browse to c:\ProgramData\Solidworks\Solidworks 20xx\design library

   Cheers
