Default aMSN security problems, help pls?

I installed aMSN onto a TryeCrypt security partition expecting the whole program to be installed there and be read and written there. But then I noticed that aMSN, like MSN does too, stores all my personal profile pics etc in:

C:/users/truth/amsn

Does anyone know how to tell amsn or MSN to never use C: and just store 100% everything on another partition that it's installed on?

set HOME "[file join $env(HOME) .amsn]"
} elseif { [OnWin] } {
if {[info exists env(USERPROFILE)]} {
set HOME "[file join $env(USERPROFILE) amsn]"
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
}
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"


I then changed it to:

if { [OnDarwin] } {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
} elseif { [OnUnix] } {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
} elseif { [OnWin] } {
if {[info exists env(USERPROFILE)]} {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
}
} else {
set HOME "[file join [pwd] amsn_config]"
}

And now all my personal profile pics etc are all stored in the same folder on my Truecrypt file

Thanks, your link worked great :-)

This stops aMSN placing all my personal pics on C:/Users/Truth/aMSN

Cheers :-)
