Excellent! The environment variable does indeed work but I found another way to set it using symbolic directory links in Win7. I used the Dirlinker tool (http://dirlinker.codeplex.com/) and created a link called Profiles in my User\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark folder and pointed it to the folder where I keep all the different profiles I use.

I have a folder with multiple troubleshooting profiles that I want to use on multiple machines but keeping them in sync under the local user account is a pain. Would it be better to maybe runWireshark portable in this case (although some of the machines are x64)?

Since 1.10 is the last version that will support U3[1] though, we should probably change the name of that environment variable to something else. My vote would be to use WS_APPDATA, and I'll likely change it to that in the trunk unless there are any objections.
