help with 2005 profiler

i'm trying to use the sql2005 profiler to run traces against both
sql2000 and sql2005 databases. i created a trace template when
connected to a sql2000 db. i want to use the exact same template for
traces against sql2005. how do i get that template so that i can use it
when connected to a sql2005 instance? i've tried exporting, importing,
saving as a trace file, etc. i can't get that trace template to load
when connected to sql2005.

The trace templates are saved according to the SQL Server version. I'm
not sure exactly where they are saved. I did a quick check and could not
find them on the local PC or in the registration database - unless they
were exported.

Tibor,
I checked in that folder and did not see the (user) templates. I created
two custom templates for SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 with the same name and
did not see either in the templates folder (I did not physically export
them to disk). I think that the "Templates" folder stores the default
templates that are delivered with SQL Server (for SQL 2000 and SQL
2005). But it's not clear to me where the user templates are stored. I'm
guessing they are in encrypted format either in the registration
database or in another file. Searching all files that contained the
string representing the template name revealed nothing on my server.
Still searching...

|||Sorry, David. I just noticed some files in that directory and incorrectly assumed that user defined
templates would also be stored there.
However, after some searching, I did find the location for user defined trace templates:
