My RoboHelp Projects

The My RoboHelp Projects folder is the default working folder where RoboHelp stores all proj­ects. This folder is placed in the My Documents folder when Adobe RoboHelp is installed. When you start Adobe RoboHelp, projects stored in the My RoboHelp Projects folder are auto­matically listed in the Starter pod under the Recent Projects list. All RoboHelp projects use the .xpj filename extension.
