Where are the settings files?

[PhilA]

After I got the latest version and run it, I see that all the previous settings were still intact, so I'm wondering where these settings are stored?

[Switeck]

On my computer, the settings files are stored in:

C:\WINDOWS\Application Data\uTorrent\

...but I'm on a Win 98SE box. For an Win XP box, they might be in a similarly-named folder off documents and settings or current user folder.

start - run - %appdata%\utorrent

It's answered in the FAQ anyway ;o If you haven't already done so, you should probably read the FAQ. You might learn about stuff in µTorrent you didn't know about before, but were wondering/unsure about (I know I did the last time I combed through it to update my manual).

Thanks for all your help. I've read the FAQ when I first found the site, but it was so large I must admit to skimming through much of it, especially the parts related to things I don't understand, (and which didn't explain them). But I'm definitely going to reread it.

I found through the run command the settings stored in the same directory as my torrents, which on XP is by default- Documents and settings\<user name>\My Documents

"start - run - %appdata%\utorrent" does not seem to work for my Win 98SE box. The same may be true for all Win 9x/ME boxes...possibly even Wine versions as well under Linux.

I should say, IE saved the torrents there by default, and utorrent also used that directory. Switeck, your OS apparently doesn't recognize that command. I don't know what it would be.

[Switeck]

I use "save as" for torrent links, so I skip right by that too. IE won't be saving my .torrent files anywhere by default except where I tell it to.

I've seen too many viruses and trojans come in via web links that weren't what they were supposed to be, that's why I use "save as".
