Where is .NET "Isolated Storage" stored?

Where would the physical files be?

Solution

  • It depends on the OS and whether or not roaming user profiles are enabled.

    For example, on XP, with non-roaming profiles, the location is

    <SYSTEMDRIVE>\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\IsolatedStorage

    On Vista with roaming profile storage,

    <SYSTEMDRIVE>\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\IsolatedStorage

    See an Introduction to Isolated Storage for more info.
