  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Mars Systems\inPhoto Capture\
  C:\Documents and Settings\[User Account Name]\Application Data\Mars Systems\inPhoto Capture\
• Windows Vista/7/8/10
  C:\ProgramData\Mars Systems\inPhoto Capture\
  C:\Users\[User Account Name]\AppData\Roaming\Mars Systems\inPhoto Capture\

• Windows XP
  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Mars Systems\inPhoto ID\

• Windows Vista/7/8/10

Please notice that inPhoto.ini in “All Users”/”ProgramData” folder is only used as default .ini file for new users during the first start of application. inPhoto always uses values from “Application Data”/”AppData” .ini file. If you want to apply changes to ini file then you need to edit all inPhoto.ini files for all users, or you can edit only one .ini file in “All Users”/”ProgramData” folder and delete folders created for users, so they will be restored on next start with default values from “All Users”/”ProgramData” folder.
Please check that you have a license serial number before deleting folders.
