  1. First, make sure you are in the Complete workspace by going to File > Workspace and selecting Complete.
  2. Click on [File] at the top of the PaintShop Pro.
  3. Go down to [Preferences] / [File Locations].
  4. Find and select [Plug-ins] from the list, then click on the [Add] button. Make sure Enable is checked under Folder options.
