Locating the client workspace
Both IBM® Sametime® Connect and IBM Notes® store user-specific data, including configuration data, preferences, and trace logs, in a workspace folder on the user's local hard drive or a network drive. To diagnose Connect issues, you might ask users to update or collect files in their workspace. Provide the information in this topic to users to help them locate their workspace.
About this task
The workspace location varies depending on a number of factors, including the type of client, (stand-alone Connect client or Notes embedded), the operating system, and the product release.

Notes embedded client
Notes stores the workspace in the Notes data directory. On Microsoft Windows, the location of the Notes data directory varies depending on a number of factors, including whether the client is single user or multi-user, whether the client is a new installation or an upgrade, and the Windows version.
