Question

Lost watched folders list from Distiller; in what file are those paths stored?

Trying to help a user....

In Adobe XI Pro, the last update he received wiped out his list of watched folders.

Where are those paths stored? I'd think there was a cache file of some sort that has that data. Would like to save that information so that he wouldn't potentially lose that info again. Also, it may be beneficial to be able to share that list of folders with his associates.

Without actually checking I'd assume the registry.

I did a search of the registry; didn't see anything there re: paths to the watched folders.

Anyone else have any info?

Maybe your version is diofferent but for Distiller 10. I found the info in the registry in a few seconds. Perhaps you're assuming the folder names are stored like c:\dir - they aren't. HKCU\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller is the place to poke around.
