Preferences folder location

Hello:

does anyone know where in Win7 Sony put the preferences folder for Sound Forge 11 that would store any additional entries that one makes in the main program to such options as the EQ, the Fader option & others?

I've looked in both the Sony folders I've found in either user/appdata local or roaming & can't find it. The folder is also not in the programdata folder or the program file folder

I have to take down my original op/sys & I'm rebuilding a new op/sys. The sound forge program is up & running in the new op/sys but I have to transfer over these preferences to the new op/sys before I dump the old system, there are so many of these little custom entries. I cannot afford to lose them, I'd never remember them all.

thx in advance

Aside from Temp. files (Options> Preferences> General)
and Window layouts (View menu), Plug-in Presets and Preset Chains can be saved and transferred using 'Preset Manager' a separate download install (sorry, I'm not sure where Preset Manager download is located on the Magix site).
BTW, If the plug-in chain presets are in differently named (or folder structure) on a different machine, it will display an error message when the preset is called up.
The individual VST presets are 'normally' in the VST folder(s), but is user assignable so they may be somewhere else.
The custom keyboard commands and layouts are also in the in the AppData> Roaming> Sony/Magix> SF folder. Other presets are in AppData> Local> Sony/Magix>SF folder but I'm not sure what they are or transferable.
