Hi,

It should be under C:\Documents and settings\<my user name>\Application Data\Ethereal

Specifically, from epan\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).

Regards,

  Francisco
