It's looking for c:\My Squeak\<your user name> as Michael mentioned.

I would rather have things in D:\tools\squeak. That's where I put the 
standalone and I would like to have the plugin under that location also.


I'm still looking around but adding c:\My Squeak\<your user name> seems 
to have got me going with the plugin. Now to teach myself Smalltalk and
