A file with the ASL file extension is an Adobe Photoshop Style file. ASL files are useful when applying the same appearance to multiple objects or layers, such as a certain color overlay, gradient, shadow, or another effect. Download latest version of Adobe Photoshop CC for Windows. Safe and Virus Free.
Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Photoshop Preferences file, including general display options, file-saving options, performance options, cursor options, transparency options, type options, and options for plug‑ins and scratch disks. Most of these options are set in the Preferences dialog box. Preference settings are saved each time you quit the application.
Unexpected behavior may indicate damaged preferences. If you suspect damage to preferences, restore preferences to their default settings.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, 'Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?'
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you need access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to Access hidden user library files.

First, You have to stop “C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeUpdater5AdobeUpdater.exe” from running.
Deletion won’t help as adobe will create a new folder and file. Here is how it works:
- First, start your task manager and kill the “AdobeUpdater.exe” process.
- Right click the new file “AdobeUpdater.exe”, select “Properties”, then “Security”.
- Mark at “Group or user names” “System”, press “Edit” and click on all “Deny” checkboxes.
- Now do this for all users “Administrator” etc. and press ok.
All done. Adobe will never again be able to update. You can test it by trying to start the update within Adobe Acrobat manually. You will see, that nothing will happen.
