User defined palettes for the NX resource bar are loaded via the particular users windows registry data in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER hive.
Disclaimer: (Paraphrasing Microsoft) "Editing the registry can cause damage... make a backup first..."

I'd recommend using NX to create the values and then query the registry to see the results then go from there.
In any resource bar palette MB3, "Create new Palette", assign the desired title, In "Preferences Palettes" look at the entry for the new palette (last line) and note the file path, Exit NX.
The query the registry with the following (change 7.5 if needed)
CODE
This will list the palette(s) and the data for each of them.
There will be a "URL" entry for each palette, one with the same file path as noted when inspecting the Palette preferences earlier.
The palette_ key and URL are required to get each of the palette(s) to display.

Joe
