Yes, I had thought about modifying the %APPDATA% environment variable. However, I have proved that will not work in my environment. By changing that system variable, I break other applications that utilize the %APPDATA% directory. The optimum solution, IMHO, would be to have a setting under preferences that would allow me to specify a directory for my personal configuration files. I was kind of hoping that Ethereal used some sort of registry entry that I could modify. Thanks to all who replied!!!

Hi,
>From the comments to filesystem.c:
* Get the directory in which personal configuration files reside;
* in UNIX-compatible systems, it's ".ethereal", under the user's home
* directory, and on Windows systems, it's "Ethereal", under %APPDATA%
* or, if %APPDATA% isn't set, it's "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data"
* (which is what %APPDATA% normally is on Windows 2000).
So you should be able to do so by changing your environment variables %APPDATA%
or %USERPROFILE%.
Regards,
Francisco
