Default Saving a chain of plugins?

Hi, I apologize in advance for such a basic question, but I'm apparently not clever enough to search the right terms for a definitive answer.

In Win 7/PT 10 I commonly use a number of plugins in my master buss. These may be several instances of EQ, compression, bx solo, Tape, Maxim, etc. I have created and saved a plugin setting for each effect but would like to know if I can save and later quickly order up the same plugins.

Possible, or no?

Thanks

Track presets is what you’re after.

No need for the workaround. It was added as a feature in PT2018.

EDIT: Just realised the OP is on PT10. The workaround is the only way to do it on that version.

Save all your chains as a template/import from (alt+shift+i) and select the chain you want to use

Thanks, I followed one of the several online tutorials, created the folder/file name, added the "t" to the extension, but still no joy. I thought perhaps I was placing the track presets folder into the wrong place, so I added it to every Avid/Pro Tools folder in my laptop, lol. It's not that big of a deal I guess, thanks for the direction. Maybe this feature doesn't work in Windows?

Just an update; I did get this to work in Win 7/Pro Tools 10. My error was that I did not create sub-folders and was simply putting the ptxt file in a "track presets" folder. Appreciate the responses and guidance.
