In the RootDirectory, c:\program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\

UDFAccess = Restrict UDF

will have the server look in c:\program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\UDF

The installation setting is UDFAccess = NONE

If you want it to find them somewhere else, e.g. in c:\MyUDF\files then it
would be Restrict = c:\MyUDF\files

>Where should my UDF DLLs be located?

In a protected directory on an NTFS partition with access only for
Administrator (apart from localsystem, of course).

Yes, everyone does. All of the default settings are in firebird.conf. You
will find them commented out in the last line of each entry.
