A google search found a tutorial that states styles files should be put into photoshop preset's styles folder. (I didn't search for info for elements.)
Just to be 100% sure, it might be best to do another google search to see if you receive the same info.

ok girls.... The first place I looked was in my preset folder but I found no style folder like I can find in Elements.
So I am still no sure what folder to stick them in? :doh:
Never thought about a google search, maybe I will have time tonight.

Kimi, I have CS3 & this is the path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Presets\Styles

If you have not loaded the new styles yet, give this a try.
open a document, add a layer with something you would like to try a style with,
open the styles palette & use the arrow on the upper right to open the fly out menu,
select Load styles.
Find the new styles files (ending in ASL) on your computer & try loading them.
This works just like loading brushes.

I'm pretty sure you must have a CS3 styles folder & your new styles will likely work just fine.

Let us know if this works for you.

When I load styles in CS3 I either do like Betty said and uses the arrow in the Styles palette and choose Load Styles or I just drag the style from Windows Explorer and drop it over the Styles palette. Much easier than looking for the preset styles folder on my hard drive.
