Where Does WizTree Store Settings?
WizTree portable INI, settings and scan snapshots on Windows.
Last updated
WizTree keeps options, column layouts and exclusion filters in an INI next to the executable on portable installs or under ProgramData on system installs. Scan snapshots export as CSV, not settings.
Run portable from the same folder to carry exclusions between machines. Admin rights change scan results more than any setting does.
Where WizTree stores this, by platform
C:\Program Files\WizTree\WizTree.ini
System-install settings with options and filters. Portable builds read WizTree.ini beside the exe instead. Export scan results separately as CSV for records.
Frequently asked questions
Portable or installed WizTree settings?
Portable reads the INI next to the exe above; installed reads ProgramData and Program Files copies. Keep one layout per USB stick.
Where are WizTree scan exports?
Wherever CSV export points, not the INI folder above. Snapshots never auto-save.
