The location it chooses is: /.josm This is correct on Linux, but on windows the location should be: \Application Data\JOSM It's true that most open source software originating from the nix world also gets this wrong. On Windows XP the user's home directory isn't really visible (the user is presented with the My Documents folder as the lowest level) so this isn't really a problem. However, on Windows Vista this has changed and is now obvious and contains ""Documents"", ""Pictures"", ""Music"" etc, and now "".josm"" too, which isn't by default hidden." defect closed minor Core tested fixed
