Put them in Vendor folders inside your Main vst folder... Rescan plugins and should work does on Windows

yeah that's the obvious way to do that, just got some different folders in different Drives over the year's (low capacity on the windows drive), if ill sort them by folders i'll get duplicated vendor folder each drive

i know that the vendor name is located in the DLL there must be a way to reach that data and tell ableton to sort it by the company name
