A.3. Windows folders

Here you will find some details about the folders used in Wireshark on different Windows versions.

As already mentioned, you can find the currently used folders in the About Wireshark dialog.

A.3.1. Windows profiles

Windows uses some special directories to store user configuration files which define the "user pro-

file". This can be confusing, as the default directory location changed from Windows version to ver-

sion and might also be different for English and internationalized versions of Windows.

Note!

If you've upgraded to a new Windows version, your profile might be kept in the former

location, so the defaults mentioned here might not apply.

The following guides you to the right place where to look for Wireshark's profile data.

Vista C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Wires

hark

XP/2000 C:\Documents and Set-

tings\<username>\Application Data, "Docu-

ments and Settings" and "Application Data" might be interna-

tionalized.

NT 4 (no longer supported by

Wireshark)

C:\WINNT\Profiles\<username>\Application

Data\Wireshark

ME/98 - with enabled user pro-

files (no longer supported by

Wireshark)

In Windows ME and 98 you can enable separate user profiles.

In that case, something like:

C:\windows\Profiles\<username>\Applicatio

n Data\Wireshark is used.

ME/98/95 (no longer supported

by Wireshark)

The default in Windows ME/98/95 is: all users work with the

same profile, which is located at:

C:\windows\Application Data\Wireshark

A.3.2. Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT roaming profiles

The following will only be applicable if you are using roaming profiles. This might be the case, if

you work in a Windows domain environment (used in company networks). The configurations of all

programs you use won't be saved on the local hard drive of the computer you are currently working

on, but on the domain server.

As Wireshark is using the correct places to store its profile data, your settings will travel with you, if

you logon to a different computer the next time.

There is an exception to this: The "Local Settings" folder in your profile data (typically something

like: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings) will not be trans-

ferred to the domain server. This is the default for temporary capture files.

A.3.3. Windows temporary folder

Wireshark uses the folder which is set by the TMPDIR or TEMP environment variable. This vari-
