I agree with Paul. QTR comes with two sorts of files - ones for editing curves (QTR ink descriptor files or .qidf), and ones for printing (.quad files). They are stored in different subfolders in the QTR programs folder, with the .qidf files being in the Profiles sub-folder and the .quad files in the Quadtone sub-folder. as I understand it, it's the .quad files you see listed in the Curve setup area of QTRGui. Moreover they don't come in complete sets of matching pairs. So there are some .quad files for which there isn't a matching .qidf file, meaning that you can print with that curve but you can't edit it. Most notably in this category are the Piezography curves.

If you want to only show the printers and papers that you use in the QTR Curve setup area, you can move the sub-folders and .quad files that you're not interested in from the Quadtone folder to elsewhere, but you'll need to do so each time you install a new version. And you'll need Admin rights to move them. This is what I do.

That's all true for curves that ship with QTR. For curves that you create yourself using the curve creator, they are stored elsewhere. See this post, but note the comments that there are bugs in curve create in W10:

In that you can 't even save the edited curve directly to the virtualstore folders. If you want to limit which files show in the curve setup area then you'll also need to move any .quad files that you're not interested in from the virtualstore to elsewhere.
