There is another way to add your material library. Go to Tools --> options and select "file locations" under the system option tab. Go to "material databases" and select the location that your database is in. At FANUC we do this for our custom material library.

On a side note, you can do this for any template or database in SolidWorks. For example, the ThunderChickens have a custom drawing template we use and that set of templates is located on the ThunderChicken server so we can use them from multiple machines as opposed to loading them on each PC individually.
