Changing Gnucash install directory Win XP

[Girard Aquino]

I see. I guess I wasn't looking at from the perspective of keeping 
personal files under that path. I always thought my files should be 
stored in My Documents, which, come to think of it, is within the 
windows user profiles directory. no worries. thanks. i've only used 
gnucash for about a month and i am still trying to figure out the right 
structure to manage our finances. if i get my questions right, i'll post 
them and would be looking forward to support coming from the mailing 
list. thanks again.
