What every altbinz user should do is to read FAQ at least once.

Q: Where will Alt.Binz store its configuration/queue/... files
A: If you create 'misc' folder in the same folder altbinz.exe is located, Alt.Binz will use root folder to create folders where config/queue/... files will be stored. In this case make sure altbinz.exe has privileges to write to its root folder.
    Otherwise whole folder structure will be written to: c:\Users\_USER_\AppData\Local\Alt.Binz

Now, for a noob user like me, can you interpret this and MOVE all Binz Folder to another disk ??  Using WIn 7 with UAC off so think binz has the rights to write to its root folder ? This 8 rule FAQ is a little not clear to me   :P

Help how to do it

As long as "misc" folder is next to the altbinz.exe (in the same folder) altbinz is going to use local folder (folder where altbinz.exe and \misc folder are) for configs/queue...
So, all you have to do is move all files from "C:\Users\zookarma\AppData\Local\Alt.Binz" to "D:\Alt.Binz"
