2023-01-23 18:52:57 +0000 marked best answer How do i change where Wireshark stores profiles?

My windows %HOME% folder is on a network drive which is not always available, so Wireshark cannot find my profiles, and hangs. I cannot fix %HOME% (not under my control), so I want to point Wireshark at another folder, e.g. c:\Users\Username

But I cannot find a menu in Wireshark that does this, probably because it would staore my choice in %HOME%, catch 22.

I cannot find something in the Windows Registry (with regedit) (oddly enough I am allowed to do this).

How can I configure Wireshark to use a different folder?
