Change location of AC´s preferences files.

Is there a way to change where AC 8.1 stores prf files??
Currently the location is: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Graphisoft

I would like to store AC´s preferences in a removable HD... Any idea to change it´s location? Maybe regedit?
Thank you,
Ricardo

This is was my second time asking this question about changing AC preferences location. Since nobody answered it, I assume it is impossible to accomplish in AC 8.1.
It is a shame that Graphisoft doesn´t allow us to customise preferences location. Even Microsoft softwares do it.
I hope there is still a way to do it.

In The Preferences there are some locations that you can change. If you cannot find a Preferences you would like to change the location of, probably it is not possible.
