New Scripts Location for Acrobat 10.1.1

To all of my customers (and everyone else who encounters this issue):
If you've installed scripts into the user-context folder of Acrobat X, which are:
On Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts
On Vista or Windows 7:
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\JavaScripts
And then updated to Acrobat 10.1.1, these scripts will no longer work, due to a change in Acrobat's folder structure.

To resolve this issue, move the scripts to the following folder:
On Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\10.0\JavaScripts
On Vista or Windows 7:
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\Privileged\10.0\JavaScripts

If this folder doesn't exist, you can either create it yourself, or place the script in this folder instead:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\JavaScripts
or
C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\JavaScripts

(My thanks to the Acrobat Ninja for the info related to this problem)
