You could modify the environment variable $HOME of the user, so that it
points to settings\user\my files\ instead of the old path.
But be aware, that this could possibly cause problems with other
applications and/or the Win32 environment.

Another possibility would be to modify the HOME variable using the
g_setenv () call on a temporary base while the application is running
or the functionality is needed.
