How do I change the Shared Folder directory in MSN Messenger Live

The default directory is located somewhere on C://Docs&Settngs/Local
User/Local Applications/Microsoft/Messenger.

How can I change this default to another partition where I have more HD
space to store all the synced folders/files.

I don't see any possibilities in the Options menu and simply cutting and
pasting the default folder to another location doesn't work either.

Thanks,

Harrie

No it's not. I made the suggestion at the start of the beta for this, I
was told it was under consideration... Guess not...

that is too bad, this means that I can't use folder share in WLM.
I hope they change this is in official release because to me this is a huge
issue.
No reason for me anymore to continue using WLM.

Plenty of reasons to still use WLM, just not folder share But
speaking of this query, I'm off to raise this again....

Surely there must be some registry hack to change path?
