Transfer of .gnucash folder from SSD system disc to HDD data disc

There is an unofficial way to move the entirety of the Users profile
storage to another drive by either making a symbolic link or editing the
registry however anyone that does this is doing so at their own risk.

The URL leads to the symbolic link method.  There are URLs within that
page which point to the registry modification method.
