There are 2 sets of WorkTime files:
1. Program files (main executable files)
2. Data files (database, database backup, settings, temporary and log files).
Program files by default are installed into Program Files\WorkTime folder (CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES).
Data files are stored:
- for Windows 95/98/ME/NT and below - into Program files folder as well;
- for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7 and above - into All user's Application Data\NesterSoft\WorkTime folder (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA).
WorkTime default files location for different Windows versions:
Windows

WorkTime Data files
95,98,ME,NT
C:\Program Files\WorkTime
C:\Program Files\WorkTime
2000, 2003, XP
C:\Program Files\WorkTime
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\NesterSoft\WorkTime
2008, Vista, 7
C:\Program Files\WorkTime
C:\ProgramData\NesterSoft\WorkTime
Data files location can be overridden by starting WorkTime with the command line parameter -datafolder <new folder>.
E.g. worktime.exe -datafolder c:\wt_data starts WorkTime and uses c:\wt_data folder instead of default location.
<new folder> can be equal to (or contain) $APPPATH$ - this variable will be replaced with the worktime.exe folder. This is useful when using WorkTime from the flash drive which can have different letters assigned.
E.g. WorkTime\worktime.exe -datafolder $APPPATH$ - starts
WorkTime and uses worktime\ folder instead of default location
database backup (by default WorkTime stores 5 last database ZIP-archives)
DBSave\
history files with the raw tracking information
Log\
log files
Offline\
offline cache for users/projects/activities
TempData\
temporary file
INI files (root folder: worktime.ini) and database file (db\ folder: wt4.fdb) are necessary for the WorkTime operation. Rest of the folders can be emptied or archived/removed.
