VLC 0.8.6, 0.8.6a, 0.8.5, 0.8.4 all supported WMv3 and this version info... is in the preferences folder (vlcrc).

I can't find the preferences folder
Sorry.
It is because I'm doing an interface to make easier the broadcast of stream via VLC.
So If the user wants to use WMV3 codec, the software has to be sure to have access to good version (0.8.6 ~ 0.8.4).
Thanks

The preferences folder is located in: C:/Documents and Settings/User (that’s you)/Application Data (this is a hidden directory, you must make this visible)/vlc/vlcrc.
