Hi, you're looking for a smarter way to manage your preamble file across multiple .tex documents. Instead of making separate copies, consider linking them together so updates propagate automatically. This approach would simplify sharing and ensure consistency without manual changes. Let me know if you'd like guidance on implementing this method.

Consider setting up a junction or symbolic link for each folder containing your files. All documents should point to a central location holding the preamble file. You can place a symbolic link in each folder named appropriately, such as FOLDERNAME, which points to the preamble file. The system should locate preamble.tex within that folder and redirect it to the main directory where all documents reside. This method avoids complex paths and simplifies management. For more details on handling symbolic links versus junctions, refer to the relevant documentation. If needed, you can create a fake folder using MKDIR /D or use junction from SysInternals for easier setup.
