You didn't break it but I have just checked in (20441) a patch to provide a
better choice when running from a U3 device.

This patch actually creates a separate sub-folder called "My Captures" in
the U3 "Documents" folder to use as the default location to store Wireshark
captures (and open them from). This is the approach recommended by the U3
Deployment Guide.
