Change the directory where log files are stored?

[Luke Myers]

Jeff,

You could shortcut or link to your actual data files, putting your
shortcuts or links on the start menu or desktop. Opening a particular
set of books then becomes a one-click matter. I'm a Gnome user, so I use
*.desktop files, but I'm sure every platform has equivalent
functionality.
