Identifying render templates marked as Favorites

Anyone know how to identify a render template marked as a Favorite? I use a minimally modified Batch Render script based on the default one supplied with Vegas but it doesn't show which ones I have marked in Vegas as Favorites. I can throw stars in front of the displayed names by hard-wiring info from the template names into the stock script like this:

//Stock Code:
                        String templateName = template.Name;
//Replacement Code to add * between check-box and template names if 32/64 is in the name                         
                        String templateName = template.Name;
                        if ( templateName.Contains("32/64")) { templateName = " * " + templateName; }
                        else { templateName = "   " + templateName; }

I do not know of a way to see whether or not a template is a "favorite" in the API.

You might look here:

"C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\VEGAS\Render Templates\Favorites.settings"

which appears to have this:

<Settings>
  <Favorites>
    <Item>4c184f1e-4d99-4353-9de0-e49da388cb63.5d5c985c-d152-49cd-9fca-d62aa84fa963</Item>
    <Item>4c184f1e-4d99-4353-9de0-e49da388cb63.48ea3bf3-60cd-4926-b0bb-fe591b144de2</Item>
    <Item>4c184f1e-4d99-4353-9de0-e49da388cb63.62eeed24-994f-40af-bd2e-beff48c9e0c6</Item>
    <Item>4c184f1e-4d99-4353-9de0-e49da388cb63.6cc295b5-2487-456d-b40d-2aa00133e978</Item>
    <Item>4c184f1e-4d99-4353-9de0-e49da388cb63.bf2bcd48-dee7-4c4e-bd73-6785443b1ff5</Item>
  </Favorites>
</Settings>

So you might be able to compare the template GUID to these numbers.
