That’s for a Mac.

On my Windows 2000 system, colour profiles are in:

C:\winnt\system32\spool\drivers\color\*.icc

(for XP replace "winnt" for "windows")

Hope this helps

If you right click on the icc profile name in Windows Explorer and select Install Profile from the context menu, Windows will install the profile and copy it to the correct folder.

I assume you want to create a custom monitor profile to calibrate your monitor. If so, your calibration software generally will place the profile in the profile folder for you and set it to the default display profile. You might want to check that it did so.
