I was imagining that I could create a preferences_common file (c:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\wireshark\preferences_common), add a few tool-bar filters: 

####### Filter Expressions ########
gui.filter_expressions.label: Exclude-broadcast
gui.filter_expressions.enabled: TRUE
gui.filter_expressions.expr: not eth.ig==1
gui.filter_expressions.label: TAF
gui.filter_expressions.enabled: TRUE
gui.filter_expressions.expr: tcp.analysis.flags

And see those filters appear in /all/ of my profiles.
But this turns out not to work. Is my imagination perhaps overactive? And I must instead add these Filter Expressions to /all/ the preferences files in all my profile directories?
