Taken from the Adobe PS7 help, under the title "Saving and loading actions (Photoshop)" when I searched for 'actions':
Saving and loading actions (Photoshop)
Actions are automatically saved to the Actions Palette folder in the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings folder. If this file is lost or removed, the actions you created are lost. You can save your actions to a separate actions file so that you can recover them if necessary. You can also load a variety of action sets that are shipped with Photoshop.
Note: The default location of the Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings folder varies by operating system. Use your operating system's Find command to locate this folder.
To save a set of actions:
Select a set.
Choose Save Actions from the Actions palette menu.
Type a name for the set, choose a location, and click Save.
You can save the set anywhere. However, if you place the file in the Presets/Photoshop Actions folder inside the Photoshop program folder, the set will appear at the bottom of the Actions palette menu after you restart the application.
Press Ctrl+Alt (Windows) or Command+Option (Mac OS) when you choose the Save Actions command to save the actions in a text file. You can use this file to review or print the contents of an action. However, you can't reload the text file back into Photoshop.
To load a set of actions:
Do one of the following:
Choose Load Actions from the Actions palette menu. Locate and select the action set file, the click Load. (In Windows, Photoshop action set files have the extension .atn.)
Select an action set from the bottom of the Actions palette menu.
To restore actions to the default set:
Choose Reset Actions from the Actions palette menu.
Click OK to replace the current actions in the Actions palette with the default set, or click Append to add the set of default actions to the current actions in the Actions palette.
