Where Does OllyDbg Store Settings and Breakpoints?
Where OllyDbg keeps settings and plugins on Windows, classic debugger layout. See the folder table below.
Last updated
OllyDbg is classic Windows debugging with folder state. Your settings live in ini files beside the executable. Breakpoints persist as UDD files next to targets.
Same folder means same setup. Exact ini names differ between v1 and v2 lines. Keep plugins matched to the version. For moves, copy the whole program folder. Partial copies miss exception tables that debugging sessions depend on. When in doubt, verify paths inside the app before trusting a remembered folder. Screenshots of settings help when support asks for reproduction steps later.

Frequently asked questions
How do I move OllyDbg settings to a new PC?
Copy the OllyDbg folder with its ini files plus plugin DLLs to the new PC. Breakpoints live per debuggee in UDD files beside targets. Match the version first, since v1 and v2 formats differ and refuse each other silently.
Does OllyDbg back up breakpoints?
Yes, in UDD files beside each analyzed binary with comments attached. The program folder holds plugins plus global ini. Views rebuild after import. Keep analyzed copies with their UDD files together, since renaming breaks the link.
