In a normal installation, Beyond Compare stores your preferences, sessions and customized file formats as .xml files in a Scooter Software subfolder of the Application Data folder. The location depends on your version of Windows. For instance, under Windows Vista it would be: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Scooter Software\Beyond Compare 3
Notice that this location differs for different users on the same computer. A quick way of finding this location is to select Support from the Help menu and click the Explore settings folder link at the bottom of the dialog. Portable installation If you prefer a more portable installation with the program and settings all in one location, you can copy your setting files to the same folder as the program. That folder may be the default program folder ("C:\Program Files\Beyond Compare 3"), or perhaps a folder on a USB flash drive or a CD-ROM. Portable installs allow you to share one set of settings for all users on a computer, or take your settings with you. If you don't have existing settings files to copy, you can create an empty file named settings.xml in the folder.
