If you are on Windows or Mac, you can set the HOME parameter in the 
gnucash environment file to the base path where you want all the 
preference files and directories to be stored in. I wouldn't do this on 
any linux system though, because you would be relocating files and 
folders that other applications depend on as well.

The environment file on Windows can be found in
<path-where-you-installed-gnucash>\etc\gnucash

There are other path setting examples in this directory which you can 
mimic to setup a HOME parameter.

Last note: the environment file gets overwritten when you upgrade 
gnucash, so after updates you will have to add your HOME parameter again.
