| 13 | | In Microsoft Windows the JOSM preferences directory is placed in your application data directory, which is typically {{{C:\Users\USERNAME\Application Data\JOSM}}} (Windows Vista and 7) or {{{C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\JOSM}}}. To find the specific directory on your system, open an explorer window and type: |
| 14 | | {{{ |
| 15 | | %APPDATA% |
| 16 | | }}} |
| 17 | | in the location bar and press {{{Enter}}}. You should find a folder called **{{{JOSM}}}**.[[BR]] |
| 18 | | Alternatively, try to search for the term {{{JOSM}}} or browse the usual folders, that contain program settings. |

| 22 | | The settings folder is in your home directory: |
| 23 | | {{{ |
| 24 | | ~/.josm |
| 25 | | }}} |
| 26 | | |
| 27 | | == Java preference folder option == |
| 28 | | Alternatively, it is possible to set the preference folder at start up on the console with: |
| 29 | | {{{ |
| 30 | | -Djosm.home= |
| 31 | | }}} |
| 32 | | e.g. |
| 33 | | {{{ |
| 34 | | java -Xmx1000m -Djosm.home=$HOME/.josm-latest -jar josm-latest.jar |
| 35 | | }}} |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | This may be useful when testing different versions. |
