Batch commands I  have created have disappeared. I'm on Windows 10. Where are they located and do they have .atn as an extension? I am using the lastes version of Windows 10.

I haven't rest my preferance so they should be there. They must have a different extension as I search the C drive for them as atn extensions and found just the default settings. I have an old backup drive but it only has the default atn files

No actions I have created appear in the action panel. I recreated one this morning. I then search for it by *atn. It doesn't appear. I also notice that none of the atn files that windows search found are the ones in the adobe action panel . It is clear to me that the default actions and the actions created in Photoshop have a different extension. On the Internet I found that some XML files can be converted to atn files so maybe Adobe stores them as XLM files. If I hit the load option in the action panel there is nothing to load. The file this opens is under User/app/adobe/......  I try to search for XML but I think I will end up recreating the actions. Thanks for your help

Have you tried resetting your Photoshop CS6 version Preferences menu File>Automate>Batch... you should  be able the Batch Actions that are  inyour Actions palette's Actions sets. Make sure your Action sets are still loads and the actions you are trying to batch is in your action set in the Acton palette.
