------- Comment #4 from ulf.lamping@xxxxxx 2006-11-01 23:52 GMT -------
The german C't had an article (23/2006 page 214, german - not available online)
about these special folders and other things about "least privileges" which
will become more important on upcoming Vista.
The right place for the capture files seems to be the "My Documents" or "My
Documents\Wireshark" folder of the users profile (I couldn't find any info
about recommendations of really large files).
The official method to acquire this path is to call the function
ShGetFolderPath(CSIDL_PERSONAL) which seems to be available on all Win32
versions we support (see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/functions/shgetfolderpath.asp).
