I don’t know about windows but the path you have for Mac is wrong.
It should be :
/Users/{your user name}/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 {or your version number}/Presets/Color Swatches

Thanks for the heads up, Bruce. I’ll have Rick check the Mac path for the color swatches.
For Windows XP or Vista, it should be:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 [or your version]\Presets\Color Swatches
or, for Windows 7:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9 [or your version]\Presets\Color Swatches

Actually, it does work as listed above under Elements 8 and 9 on the Mac. I’ll have to check Version 6 (which is on a distant Mac), but just placing the .ACO files in the folder inside the application will add them to the list without any trouble.
