> Responding from my PC--don't have the Mac available at the moment--but, I
> remember a similar thing happened to me a while back...I am running
> Photoshop 6.0.1 under OS 9.1. Apparently, under PS6, at least, there are two
> folders where plug-ins can be installed. One is found where you would expect
> it, following the Photoshop "chain", but, the other is directly off the
> "root" (whatever this is called in the Mac world) directory.
> 
> I don't remember installing anything into this folder, but somehow stuff got
> in there. Buried deep in the bowels of PS6 is a check box indicating other
> (i.e., not within Photoshop) places to look for plug-ins, etc.
> Somehow...don't know how, though...must be "magic"...this box became
> unchecked on my system; which caused a few of my plug-ins to disappear!
> Enabling the checkbox, again, caused the "lost" items to reappear in my
> Filter menu. Don't know where, or if, this same checkbox is available in
> PS7, but might be something to verify. Good luck!
