The Library Components folder is created by the Display referenced files in a seperate project option in the standard libraries tab of the vault admin tool.
Can you use that folder for anything else other than Toolbox automatically putting parts in there? Is there any way for Toolbox parts and regular library p[arts to be put into the same project folders for use in the vault?
Matt,
"Display reference files in a separate project" is misleading. It is not really a project folder in the vault. It is only available when you choose to not manage toolbox parts, "Disable check in of documents". These projects are displayed in blue text to diffrenciate from real projects in the vault. The toolbox parts are not really in the vault, they just look like they are. You cannot drag and drop from there into new assemblies, you still have to use toolbox browser to do that.
You can add additional folders to the "Additional Toolbox and Standard Library root level folders" for your regular library parts, but they will behave just like toolbox parts, they will not be added to the vault when you "Disable check in of documents".
The other option is to "Allow check in of documents". If you do this, you will need to have your toolbox set to "Always Create Copy". With this setting, you can check in toolbox and standard library parts into the vault in the same project as the assembly. It is not really an issue, but when you check in an assembly it will also try to check in reference parts in the same project as the assembly so your toolbox parts will be scattered throught the vault. You can have an admin person move these files to a single toolbox/standard parts project when users accidentally puts them in the wrong project.
