Is there a way to change the default location of the personal config folder?

From the Wireshark man page:

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR

This environment variable overrides the location of personal configuration files. It defaults to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wireshark (or $HOME/.wireshark if the former is missing while the latter exists). On Windows, %APPDATA%\Wireshark is used instead. Available since Wireshark 3.0.

C:\Users\xxx\foobar1>set | findstr /I wireshark_config_dir
WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR=C:\Users\xxx\foobar1
