The "preferences" file is stored on the USB flash drive under 
\PortableApps\WiresharkPortable\data\, as are the "recent," 
"recent_common," and "geoip_db_paths" files, and the "profiles" 
subdirectory. What preferences would go in .wireshark? I've changed 
many preferences, and created 11 different profiles and Wireshark has 
not created a .wireshark directory.
