Changing Gnucash install directory Win XP

[Nathan Buchanan]

Hi Girard!

We store the user's settings in their profile's folder. In my case:
C:\Documents and Settings\Nathan\.gnucash and for some C:\Documents and
Settings\Nathan\.gconf

I fail to see how this is confusing, as it *is* stored in the user's folder.
Firefox, Opera, Realplayer, Acrobat, etc do the same thing, so we are not
doing something abnormal.
