Where is the "trusted source" for FrameMaker 12?

When I run a script from a command line, I get the "You are about to run a script in Adobe FrameMaker 12. You should only run a script from a trusted source." Etc. The ExtendScript Toolkit docs say "the user-script folder of installed Adobe applications". Any idea where this would be for FrameMaker 12? Thanks.

Untested, but p.18 of the Javascript Tools Guide has this to say:

Adobe Scripts folder

On first launch, the Toolkit creates a folder named Adobe Scripts in the user's Documents folder. The

Default favorite in the Scripts panel displays the contents of this folder.

When double-clicking a JSX file, the Toolkit normally acts as an invisible security filter. Before actually

launching the file, a security dialog asks if it is OK to execute the script. The Toolkit treats the user's

Documents/Adobe Scripts folder, however, as a trusted location; when you double-click a JSX file in that

folder, the Toolkit does not display the security alert.

In WIndows, that is "%userprofile%\Documents\Adobe Scripts".
