How to add items to toolbox

I know this is strange, and it's a long story about how my team got to this place, but we are producing a set of dependent assemblies that are stored in different bin directories.

When we try to "add" one of these assemblies to the toolbox so we can use the controls it defines, the "add" fails because VS cannot find the other assemblies it depends upon because they are spread over several other directories.

Is there any way to control WHERE VisualStudio looks for these other assemblies when adding to a toolbox tab

    VS will look in the folders listed within devenv.exe.config at the value given in the probing tag of the XML for directories that we look at. Modifying this file is discouraged, but you can copy your files into one of the directories that are listed.
