I am trying to add an external reference that is located in the C:\Windows folder. I have tried referencing the control through VB.NET, but it keeps adding the reference in with my project and will not let me change the reference path.

I do not want to have a local reference since all the computers using the program will already have the file on them.

Specifically the reference shdocvw.dll

Anybody know how I can just refer to this file on the hard drive instead of including it in my project?
