PS6, Windows.

Where's the "Prefs.psp" hiding?

According to the help file, in particular "Looking at the Work Area >
Setting preferences" the PS preference file is called "Prefs.psp" and
is located in the "Settings" folder.

This same help warns that:
"The default location of the Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings folder varies
by operating system; use your operating system's Find command to
locate this folder."

I have!!

Not only is this folder nowhere to be found but I searched the whole
disk for "Prefs.psp" with Explorer and it came up empty!?

Found it...

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\6.0\Adobe Photoshop 6
Settings\Adobe Photoshop 6 Prefs.psp

The spaces in the file name explains why neither Windows nor DOS could
find it! When given the "full" file name (as in "Prefs.psp") Windows
does an exact search (no wildcards). DOS on the other hand couldn't
find it because the short version of the name (ADOBEP~1.PSP) is
completely different.

Now, if Adobe put the name is quotes, like so "Adobe Photoshop 6
Prefs.psp" (as they should!!!) there would be no confusion...
