There are several options (recommended options listed first):
(1) Move the (Gnus) files and directories from
c:\ to ...\<user>\Application Data\
(2) Set the environment variable HOME to C:\, the Emacs will use this
instead of ...\<user>\Application Data\
(3) Set gnus-home-directory to "c:/" in .emacs (or _emacs): Gnus will
(modulo bugs?) use the files and directories from there.
(4) Set `gnus-directory', `message-directory', ... to your preferred
directories.
Bye, Reiner.
