# Standard file location for Verus Desktop
3+
4+
The installer for Verus-Desktop suggests a standard location to install to, depending on the choice whether you want to install it for all users or just yourself.
5+
6+
## Anyone who uses the computer (All Users)
7+
8+
`%ProgramFiles%\Verus-Desktop`
9+
10+
## Only me:
11+
12+
`%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Verus-Desktop`
13+
14+
Normally you don't need to worry about these locations, but in some instances you will be asked by community members providing support to look up a file in a folder in your Verus-Desktop installation.
15+
16+
note: changing files in these folders or subfolders may result in a corrupt installation. Only do so when instructed by our support community members.
17+
18+
## Program settings
19+
20+
Verus Desktop saves it program settings on a different folder:
21+
`%AppData%\Verus-Desktop`
22+
23+
## Standard chain data and wallet locations
24+
25+
#### KMD
26+
27+
`%AppData%\Komodo`
28+
29+
### Verus
30+
31+
`%AppData%\Komodo\VRSC`
32+
33+
#### Komodo asset chains
34+
Any Komodo asset chain will create a subfolder in the KMD chain data and wallet folder, which is standard named. The names will be in capitals and are identical to the **official** asset-chain name.
35+
`%AppData%\Komodo\<CHAIN-NAME>`
36+
37+
Note: examples
38+
Pirate: `%AppData%\Komodo\PIRATE`
39+
Utrum: `%AppData%\Komodo\OOT`
40+
Zexo: `%AppData%\Komodo\ZEXO`
41+
And so on...
42+
43+
For easy access to the binaries folders, Verus-Desktop program settings and VRSC chain folder and all binary folders, you can use the debug menu in Verus-Desktop.
