They didn't call it that. I already have that but I don't have it tied to their controller. You could be right...not sure. This was some kind of a beta thing.

NI is beta testing a replacement for the Service Center called Native Access.  Perhaps this is what you got?
 
I'll try to post a link:  https://ask.audio/articles/native-instruments-unveil-native-access-beta-program
 

Turns out there might be a way to do this, albiet a very tedious way.  But once it's done, if it works, it's done.
 
You should be able to just move the instruments folder of a third party library to you Kontakt Factory Library folder but you will get a "cannot find samples" error dialog when trying to load it via the Libraries tab in Kontakt.  Then you can just point Kontakt to the drive/folder where that libraries samples are and, hopefully, be good to go.
 
For me this means doing this about 25 times.
 
Plus, as some have alluded above, the Libraries tab in Kontakt is no great browser anyway.
 
We'll see.
 

Nice thing about this approach - 
 
It looks like you can create as many subfolders/categories as you want under the Factory library, so lots of options for keeping things organized - at least with the 3rd-party libraries that don't show up in the browser. 
 
I was using the "Quick" menu option for these libraries, but I already like adding them as categories under the factory library a LOT better -
Time to move the Factory Library back to the top of the browser tab!

I thought an easy solution might be to use folder shortcuts, so I gave it a try. Nope. Shortcuts won't show. Back to the drawing board.

I'm thinking I might do this for ALL my Kontakt libraries including ones that use the Library Tab already. That should at least help keep things cleaner.
 
My question is: will NI's Service program see the Factory Library as a different size and say it needs updated essentially wiping the whole thing back to it's original files?

Thanks for this great tip, John.

Can't really see how this is better than Quick Load. I actually use Quick Load for most things, even a lot of those those that appear in the libraries tab.
 
 
I don't know if libraries added in this way would appear in the Komplet Kontrol browser libraries tab rather than the User tab, but unless you had mapped the control parameters to a pre-set you would not gain much anyway. If I get really board I might try it.

It's a nifty bit of info, but I agree with Glyn.
You can resize the Quick Load pane and your samples can reside in a location of your choosing.
