Try at one of these directories:

32-bit Windows

Code:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Brushes

64-bit Windows

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Presets\Brushes

OS X (Not sure on this, but a good guess)

Code:

Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Photoshop CS2:Presets:Brushes

Then once in Photoshop, when you go to select the brush you want, make sure you click the little > arrow in the circle and choose to load the brushes you just added.

darlene06, your brushes normally go inside the presets folder, which contains a folder called brushes.

You can place them inside the folder, or place them in a different location you designate. Confused?

Quite often PS users 'collect' so many brushes they find it difficult to keep track of them and all those listings on the Preset Manager get to be too many to handle in a single location. In that case you can create a new folder that contains your extensive 'library', and you can access that file like the other, browse to the appropriate area on your computer and select the one you want.

This is probably clear as mud, if you are still uncertain, maybe someone else can explain it better.
