Default File LocationsFile TypeHelp files (Fireware®)Help files (WFS)LocationC:\Program Files\WatchGuard\wsm8\helpC:\Program Files\WatchGuard\wsm8\wfs\helpDefault File LocationsThese tables gives the default location where the WatchGuard® software applications and servers lookfor their data files or for data files created by users (such as Firebox® configuration files). In some cases,the default location changes based on where the software application opened a file of a similar type. Inthese cases, the software application remembers the last place the file was read/written and looks inthat location first.Since it is possible to configure the Windows operating system (OS) to put these directories on differentdisk drives, you must determine the exact location of these files based on the configuration of Windowson your computer.It is also possible to configure log files to be kept in a different directory than other installation files. Ifyou change the default location of log files, these default locations do not apply.If you are using an OS version that is not English, you must translate directory names (such as “Documentsand Settings” or “Program Files”) to match the OS language you use.Policy Manager for Fireware Appliance SoftwareOperation File Type Default LocationRead/Write Firebox backups C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared WatchGuard\backupsReadProduct upgradeimagesC:\Program Files\Common Files\WatchGuard\Resources\FirewareRead Blocked Sites My Documents\My WatchGuardReadRead/WriteBlocked SitesexceptionsFireboxconfiguration filesMy Documents\My WatchGuardMy Documents\My WatchGuard\configsRead/Write Firebox license files My Documents\My WatchGuard\configsReadInitial licenseimportMy Documents\My WatchGuardWrite MUVPN .wgx File C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared WatchGuard\muvpn376 WatchGuard System Manager
