Where would I find Tool Palette Group info stored at?

I have some tool palette groups that I would like to share with all users but can't seem to find where they are stored at. Creating a Profile didn't work. Looking in the CUIX file and can' seem to find it there.

Thanks for the help.

copy the profile.aws files from 3 locations on your computer to the 3
locations on the other computers
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Autodesk\ACA
2010\enu\Support\Profiles
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Autodesk\ACA
2010\enu\Support\Profiles\AutoCAD Architecture (US Imperial)
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Autodesk\ACA

Just ran into same problem trying to transfer numerous new profiles with tool palette groups to numerous workstations.  We did this:

 

 Create your profiles with tool palettes and associated groups.  Export your profile for safety.  Find your profile group storage files under your local user directory  %USERPROFILE%\appdata\roaming\autodesk\autocad mechanical 2012\r18.2\enu\support\profiles\

Copy the all of these folders and associated *.AWS files inside.  Place all of these folders on a network drive. 

Find "Autodesk/Autocad/.........../Profiles/" in your registery.  In registery look under EACH "Profile" folder and find "General" folder.  Find PROFILESTORAGE  and edit & change the path shown to your network drive.

You will then have to get a little more involved and write a program or BAT file to copy the Creator's autocad registery and launch them over the network to the desired workstion.

 

As a backup, when I create an individual tool palette structured into groups I use the tool palette customization option and "Export All" and save the tool palette group as CLIENT.XPG.  This enables me to add a new tool palette & group without necessarily messing with a profile.
