Save Menu as Theme--where did it go?

I saved a menu as a theme in DVDA4.0b, in hopes of using it as a theme in DVDA2. It's available under the Themes tab in a new DVDA4 project. But when I look in c:\program files\sony\dvd architect 4.0\themes its not there. Where else shall I look?

thanks,
scott

As of DVDA4, Sony changed the themes folder to something outside of the Program Files hierarchy. I forget where -- somewhere under Documents and Settings, I think, but not under My Documents.

Use Windows' search tool to find any *.thm files and see what comes up.

I did the search and found the *.thm files only within the Program Files structure:
either \DVD Architect 2.0\Themes or \DVD Architect 4.0\Themes folders, nothing in Documents and Settings.

The theme created from a menu is there in the themes icon list in DVD4b, but can't find it in the Themes folder on the hard drive. I created a new menu, dragged the icon onto it, and voila, it recreated the menu with buttons and background media.

Where might it be, or was it renamed something else? I only see what looks like the stock themes listed in the Program Files\Sony\DVD Architect4.0\Themes folder or their corresponding CAB files under Program Files\Sony Setup\DVD Architect4.0\Themes

I also searched *Eric and Kristi*.thm, imitating the name of the theme, but the search of all hard drives came up empty. It's gotta be somewhere <scratches head>.... :]

Check somewhere like this...

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Sony\DVD Architect\4.0\UserThemes

YES, that was it...turns out the folder was Hidden and Read Only, so it did not show up in the search.

thanks.
